"Life and Times of Frederick Douglass: His Early Life as a Slave, His Escape..." by Frederick Douglass is an autobiography published in 1881 and revised in 1892. This third and final autobiography reveals details about Douglass's enslavement and escape that were too dangerous to share earlier. It chronicles his entire life, from childhood memories with his grandparents through his experiences during and after the Civil War, including encounters with Presidents Lincoln and Garfield, and his service as U.S. Marshall of the District of Columbia.
