Several instances of inhuman treatment inflicted on the poor slaves, and the general unpleasantness of the subject, work upon the sympathies too much to make it altogether pleasant reading; but the author tells his story simply, without aiming at producing any sensation, and it appears a faithful record of the way the debasing traffic was carried on.\u003cbr\u003e Edward Manning was a sailor from New London, Connecticut, who in 1860 signed on with the \"whaling\" ship \"Thomas Watson\" only to later find it was a \"slaver\" ship on a voyage to transport slaves from Africa to Yucatan. Manning wrote of his experiences aboard the slaver in his 1879 book \"Six Months on a Slaver: A True Narrative.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 90\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.22 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 22, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47385801064697,"sku":"9781387938551","price":14.38,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/r7djVxHAyk9781387938551.webp?v=1770182144","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/six-months-on-a-slaver-a-true-narrative-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
