The movie winning the Oscar for Best Motion Picture in 2014 was 12 Years a Slave. It recounted the story of Solomon Northrup, a free resident of New York State who was kidnapped and sold into slavery in 1841. He languished in slavery for twelve years in Lousiana before he was located and freed to return home. This story was published by The Wesleyan Methodist Connection in 1853 in Uncle Tom’s Kindred, or the Wrongs of the Lowly, a 10-volume set of books released from 1853-1855, consisting of “slave narratives” and sketches. Volume I contains the story of Solomon Northrup.
