The Great Stain

by Noel Rae

In this important book, Noel Rae integrates firsthand accounts into a narrative history that brings the reader face to face with slavery's everyday reality. From the travel journals of sixteenth-century Spanish settlers who offered religious instruction and “protection” in exchange for farm labor, to the diaries of Reverend Cotton Mather, to Central Park designer Frederick Law Olmsted's travelogue about the “cotton states.”
