Life and Times of Frederick Douglass By Himself

by Frederick Douglass

Life and Times of Frederick Douglass is Douglass’s third and final—and longest—memoir, published three years before he died in 1895 at the age of 77. By this time he had met Abraham Lincoln and lived through the American Civil War. He had spent more than 50 years campaigning against slavery and its aftermath, for as he wrote, “Though slavery was abolished, the wrongs of my people were not ended.”
