In 1845, seven years after fleeing bondage in Maryland, Frederick Douglass was in his late twenties and already a celebrated lecturer across the northern United States. Along the way, it chronicles Douglass’s transformation from activist foot soldier to moral visionary. GIANT'S CAUSEWAY shows how experiences under foreign skies helped Douglass hone habits of independence, discretion, compromise, self-reliance, and political dexterity.
Historian and author Tom Chaffin presents GIANT'S CAUSEWAY, the first major narrative account of Frederick Douglass's seventeen month lecture tour of the British Isles, a journey that would prove pivotal in the life of America's foremost agitator.
