Twenty-Two Years a Slave, and Forty Years a Freeman
Austin Steward · William Alling (Rochester, NY) · 1857
Steward's narrative was reprinted several times after 1857; by the stated Fourth Edition, issued 'Published by the Author' from Canandaigua, NY in 1867, the binding had changed to brown cloth rather than the first edition's gray — only the original 1857 Rochester, William Alling printing in gray cloth is the true first edition.
