Abstract:
Dr. Stevenson, in conjunction with Dr. Yellin of Pace University, painstakingly combed historical documents to illuminate the history of Harriet Jacob's life in northeastern North Carolina. The scholastic team used a variety of primary documents to corroborate Jacob's story in her classic text INCIDENTS IN THE LIFE OF A SLAVE GIRL. Their efforts resulted in a Dr. Yellin's publication of an annotated edition of the work, adding rich historical context to the narrative.
