Stedman's Surinam: Life in an Eighteenth-Century Slave Society. an Abridged, Modernized Edition of Narrative of a Five Years Expedition Against the Revolted Negroes of Surinam

The unexpurgated text, presented here with extensive notes and commentary, constitutes one of the richest and most evocative accounts ever written of colonial life -- and one of the strongest indictments ever to appear against New World slavery.
