- Louis Hugues was born into slavery near the town of Charlottesville, Virgina. His father was white and his mother was a black slave. Over his years working as a house servant at the McGee plantation, he gained an intimate knowledge of the family affairs and workings of the household's cotton business empire.
In the autobiography Thirty Years A Slave, Louis Hugues details life on the McGee plantation in Mississippi and at their mansion in Tennessee, as well as the cruel suffering endured by African American slaves under the ownership of Boss McGee and his vindictive wife.

I listened to this about 10 years ago. I'm listening now as a "sleep book" while I try to calm my mind to fall asleep.
-
Im 10 years old and im black and proud
-
after long thought im quite proud to be a descendants of a slave than the descendants of slave masters. It would break my heart knowing my ancestors carried on in such a monstrous manner. It would actually bring me great shame. But knowing my ancestors survived and made it possible to be free today gives me joy
-
Virgina breeds the best slaves. Wow. My family is from Virginia and although I am mixed a good bit of my ancestors were probably bought and sold there. Slavery was such a sad institution!
-
My people are strong, brave, intelligent and resilient. Those who are prejudice towards us hate what they themselves will never posses (strength and fearless). I love my decedents.
-
thank you for sharing this powerful yet sad story.
-
I cant even imagine living in such a time! Ugh how disgusting! I never really realized just how awful that time was.
-
This was very well read. Thank you for producing this audiobook so that everyone can hear this and understand the true nature of abominable slavery.
-

-
God bless you and your legacy.
-
Thx for your excellent recital.
-
An amazing tell.
-
thank you for uploading this
-
Hard to listen to how cruel people can be to other people. How can anyone force a mother to give up her child? Or not allow her to care for her babies? I think they had no souls. Terrible history. How can statues remain glorifying defenders of this horrible institution?
-
Thank You sir
-
Well done! 🤩
-
All I have too say is The book of Deuteronomy 28:16-68
-
