The first autobiography written by a freed slave gives an account of his capture and enslavement on the African Gold Coast. This narrative describes the harrowing ordeal of crossing the Atlantic in the hold of a European slave ship. Equiano becomes the trusted slave of a West Indies merchant and eventually earns the money to buy his freedom.
