McFeely’s book does not have the same pace and enjoyment that some of my favorite biographers can muster, but his writing is still engaging and informative. The first portion of the book seemed repetitive to Douglass’s own recounting of his youth, but the rest of the book gave great insight to a complex and interesting man. After reading Grant by Jean Edward Smith, I learned about Douglass’s time representing the United States in Haiti, which led me to McFeely’s biography from 1991. ![]() After reading, Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave, I wanted to know more about Frederick Douglass. ![]()
