About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of From Slave Cabin To Pulpit and Sketches Of Slave Life by Peter Randolph. Read in English by David Wales Peter Randolph was born a slave in 1825 (?), was freed before the American Civil War, and became a clergyman in the Baptist tradition, dying in 1897. This is his 1893 autobiography. The latter third of the book is a slightly edited re-publication of a pamphlet he published in 1855 (so before the Civil War) entitled “Sketches Of Slave Life." This recording omits chapter fourteen of "From Slave Cabin To Pulpit" because it is only a several-pages-long list of friends of the author with no narrative.- Summary by David Wales
