''A Narrative Of The Life And Adventures Of Venture A Native Of Africa But Resident Above Sixty Years In The United States Of America'' is an autobiography written by Venture Smith, a former slave who was born in Africa and spent over sixty years in the United States. In the book, Smith recounts his life story, beginning with his capture and enslavement in Africa as a young boy, and his subsequent journey to the United States on a slave ship. He describes his experiences as a slave, including his work on various plantations and his attempts to escape. Eventually, Smith was able to purchase his own freedom and that of his family, and he went on to become a successful farmer and businessman. Throughout the book, Smith offers insight into the harsh realities of slavery and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity. The book is an important historical document that sheds light on the experiences of enslaved Africans in the United States and their struggle for freedom and equality.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
