A Slave No More: Two Men Who Escaped to Freedom, Including Their Own Narratives of Emancipation. By David W. Blight. (New York: Harcourt, 2007. 307 pp. $25.00, ISBN 978-0-15-101232-9.)

In the first four chapters of A Slave No More, David W. Blight introduces two previously unpublished slave narratives with his own rich and sensitive exploration of the lives of the men who wrote them. Drawing not only on these memoirs but also from a wealth of genealogical research as well as his own encyclopedic knowledge of Civil War-era history, Blight reconstructs the lives of John M. Washington and Wallace Turnage as they endured enslavement, escaped their bondage in the tumultuous context of a South at war, and made new lives for themselves and their families in freedom. Typescripts of the narratives themselves occupy the final third of the book, printed in their "raw, original form" with only the addition of a few paragraph breaks and clarifying capitalization (p. 163).
