1934 EARLY ABOLITIONIST CORRESPONDENCE. Letters of Weld and Grimke - Architects of Abolitionism.
Very scarce on the market, the first edition of the collected correspondence of two influential early American abolitionists. Weld is considered the architect of much of the early movement organizationally and ideologically. And Grimke, the daughter of a wealthy South Carolina plantation owner, was a compelling narrator as one who was a "convert" and had seen slavery first-hand.
