$15.00 $20.00
This is a very good hardcover with dust jacket. 2002 Harvard University Press, inscribed by author on title page, see photo. This copy is very good inside and out. NOTE: first 25 pages or so have some sentences underlined in pencil but that appears to be limited to early pages. Rest of pages are crisp and clean. The binding is tight and straight. Maroon hardcover boards under jacket are also very good with barely a hint of shelf wear and feature black cloth quarter trim. Medium octavo book size or 6.5" x 9.5" with 367 pages.
The Black Hearts of Men by John Stauffer is subtitled Radical Abolitionists and The Transformation of Race. The books focus is on the relationship of four abolitionists: Gerrit Smith, John Brown, Frederick Douglass, and James McCune Smith. The men overcame social boundaries to form an alliance that sought nothing less than the end of what they considered evil. Gerrit Smith, one of the wealthiest men in the country, gave away his riches and aligned with Frederick Douglass. Highly educated John McCune Smith linked arms with John Brown in an unexpected alliance. All share a vision of freedom and equality.
