About the work

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

LibriVox recording of The Domestic Slave Trade Of The Southern States by Winfield Hazlitt Collins. Read in English by David Wales This 1904 history of slavery in the southeastern United States reflects the state of knowledge at that time, of course. The text contains so many extensive quotations (well footnoted along with an extensive bibliography) that it was unfeasible to indicate them as quotes in reading the text. The author was a professor of history and English at Claremont College, a North Carolina school that closed in 1917. A resource of more current thinking may be had at the well-regarded 1988 Dictionary Of Afro-American Slavery. - Summary by David Wales
