Now for Kindle: Complete Biography of Solomon Northup

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. - Dec. 2, 2013 - PRLog -- This book, Solomon Northup: The Complete Story of the Author of Twelve Years a Slave is authored by David Fiske, Clifford W. Brown, and Rachel Seligman. It provides a compelling chronological narrative of Northup's entire life, from his birth in an isolated settlement in upstate New York to the activities he pursued after his release from slavery. This comprehensive work picks up where annotated editions of Northup's narrative leave off, presenting fascinating, previously unknown information about the author of the autobiographical Twelve Years A Slave. (Northup's autobiography is the basis of the coming film, 12 Years A Slave, a production backed by Brad Pitt.)

Henry Louis Gates, Jr., has called this book about Northup "the best current biography available." Additionally Gates notes: "The facts the authors have uncovered are invaluable–the living descendants they have identified, precious."

A hardcover edition of the book was released in August 2013. The Kindle version contains the full content of the book, and can be read along with other titles that Kindle owners have purchased, allowing for maximum reading ease and flexibility. Order this version from Amazon's Kindle Store:
