Sobre este artículo
London: Penguin, 2005. Paperback. Near Fine. xxiv, 168 p.20 cm. Paperback. First published in 1868. Elizabeth Hobbs Keckley (1818-1907) was born a slave and purchased her own freedom at the age of 37; she proceeded to become a successful dressmaker in Washington, D.C. One of her clients was the First Lady, Mary Todd Lincoln (1818-1882), with whom she developed a close relationship. "Their intimacy informs this extraordinary book, which is at once a slave narrative, a candid private view of the Lincoln White House during a violent turning point in American history, and the story of a friendship that continued after Lincoln's assassination." -- back cover. In Near Fine Condition: edges slightly rubbed; clean and tight.
