Susie King Taylor, nurse, teacher & freedom fighter, Erica Armstrong Dunbar and Candace Buford - paperback

Includes "Reminiscences of my life in camp" written by Susie King Taylor and published in Boston in 1902 (pages 179-271)"We made the decision to write this book about Susie King Taylor's experiences in a first-person voice. Connecting the information given to us from her own narrative that she published in 1902, we have included additional experiences we imagine must have confronted her. In a few places, we needed to create first names to breathe life and dignity into the people who lived during this time. In some cases, we use "informed speculation" - meaning we tried to estimate what Taylor would have experienced - even though she may not have told us about her feelings in writing. Even so, this is a history book, and wherever possible, we use Susie King Taylor's own words"--page viii
