- Description
- Sojourner Truth's autobiographical narrative was originally published in the 1850s and subsequently went through many editions during her lifetime and after. Rutgers researchers who created records about Sojourner Truth in the New Jersey Slavery Records database relied on the full-text digital edition created as part of the North American Slave Narratives collection, published by the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. This digital edition is an annotated reproduction of the 1884 edition of Truth's book; the 1884 edition was the first one published after Truth's death and contained a memorial chapter that highlighted her last years of life. A scan of the 1884 edition is also available through Archive.org.
