Synopsis:
Documents the 1862 trial and execution of Nathaniel Gordon, the only man in the history of the United States to be hanged for slave trading, in an account that sets the trial against a backdrop of the Civil War under newly elected president Lincoln and offers insight into why slave trading, although illegal, was previously overlooked. 25,000 first printing.
Review: "This valuable book tells with satisfying thoroughness, clarity, and drama the half-forgotten story of the only slave trader executed under American law -- and uses that vivid episode to illuminate the terrible history of the slave trade and its echoes today. This book is a solid achievement."-- William Lee Miller, author of "Lincoln's Virtues" and "Arguing About Slavery"
