The Life of Josiah Henson, Formerly a Slave, Now an Inhabitant of Canada, as Narrated by Himself
Josiah Henson · Arthur D. Phelps (Boston) · 1849
Do not confuse this 76-page 1849 first edition with the substantially rewritten and expanded Truth Stranger than Fiction: Father Henson's Story of His Own Life (Boston: John P. Jewett, 1858), issued with a new introduction by Harriet Beecher Stowe after Uncle Tom's Cabin made his story famous; the 1858 book is a different, later edition, not a reprint of the 1849 text.
