"The Indiana slave narratives provide a glimpse of slavery from the memories of those who experienced it, preserving insiders' views of an unfortunate chapter in American history. Though the former slaves represented in the Indiana collection lived in Indiana at the time of the interviews, their stories reveal a variety of experiences of African Americans who had been enslaved in eleven different states from the Carolinas to Louisiana.
The interviews deal with life and work on the plantation; the treatment of slaves; escaping from slavery; education, religion, and the slaves' folklore; and recollections of the Civil War. Just as important, the interviews reveal how former slaves fared in Indiana after the Civil War and during the Depression."--BOOK JACKET.
