Zustand: GOOD. First thus - facsimile reprint of a work originally published in 1902. The title page goes on to state: "A Fatherless Boy, Carpenter and Contractor, Anti-Slavery Lecturer, Merchant, Railroad Builder, Superintendent of Mine, Attorney-at-Law, County Attorney, Municipal Judge Register of United States Lands, Receiver of Public Monies for U. S., United States Consul to Madagascar, Prominent Race Leaders, etc." An autobiography of a man whose life was one of adventure and danger and who was a witness to many of the significant events in the history of the United States during the 19th century. The early chapters include comments on the Underground Railroad, Nat Turner's Insurrection, Cinguez, the Hero of Armistead Captives and his first tour with Frederic Douglass. In California, where he had gone in 1850 during the gold rush, he was politically active, rode with John C Fremont during the Vigilante era, the co-founder with Peter Lester of "Mirror of the Times", California's first Black newspaper, protesting the poll tax and a bill to ban Black people from moving to the state, and generally speaking out. With Lester and hundreds of other families, he moved to Victoria in British Columbia where he made a fortune in dry goods, and real estate. In 1869 after the Civil War, he returned to the United States - to Oberlin, Ohio, where he earned a degree in law. He served as a judge in Little Rock, Arkansas, and was appointed U.S. Consul to Madagascar in 1897. Introduction by Booker T. Washington. New preface for this edition by William Loren Katz. Illustrated. 372 pp. Ex-library but with relatively few markings, and clean content, in the sturdy black and white cloth covered boards used for all of the titles in this series - no dustjacket as issued.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Adventure, danger, romance - Mifflin W. Gibbs seemed to invite them in his determination to better himself. He staked out considerable success as an entrepreneur and public voice in the American West before moving on to other frontiers. In California, where he had gone to seek his fortune, he was politically active, protesting the poll tax, editing a newspaper, and generally speaking out. After exile in Canada, necessitated by his civil-rights agitation and the political climate, Gibbs returned to the United States in 1869 - to Oberlin, Ohio, where he earned a degree in law. Then he went to Little Rock, Arkansas, serving as a judge until his appointment as U.S. Consul to Madagascar in 1897. Shadow and Light offers many historical sidelights - on the underground railroad young Gibbs knew first hand, the abolition movement, the Spanish-American War, and nineteenth-century race relations. Acting always on his concern for what he called 'the progress of the race', Gibbs won the support and friendship of leaders as diverse as Frederick Douglass and Booker T. Washington.
