“Truth is Stranger than Fiction” is the autobiography of Rev. Josiah Henson, an escaped slave and minister who inspired the character of Uncle Tom in Harriet Beecher Stowe’s iconic novel “Uncle Tom’s Cabin.” Henson recounts his experiences of slavery, his escape to Canada, and his efforts to help other fugitive slaves. The book includes a preface by Stowe herself, along with notes from notable abolitionists Wendell Phillips and John G. Whittier, and an appendix by Bishop Gilbert Haven on the Exodus movement. This work not only sheds light on Henson’s life and the injustices of slavery but also on his contributions to the abolitionist movement and the betterment of African-Americans post-Emancipation. Covering the period from 1789 to 1879, this rare edition is enhanced by 16 full-page engravings.
