"This is a highly recommended resource, and even smaller academic libraries that would usually
bypass any consideration of primary source material should think long and hard about this one.
Slavery is a multidisciplinary topic that appears time and again in varying ways. Whether one is
researching documents on the Dred Scott decision or reading the emotional story of a personal
slave narrative, this collection will have broader appeal than the typical primary source collection."
