Más información sobre el libro

The Memoir of Rev. Charles T. Torrey is a moving tribute to a pioneering abolitionist and social reformer. Torrey, born in 1813 in Massachusetts, became a Unitarian minister and devoted his life to the cause of emancipation and the rights of the oppressed. Imprisoned multiple times for his activities on behalf of escaped slaves, Torrey died in a Maryland jail in 1846. Lovejoy's memoir, first published in 1847, provides a vivid and intimate portrait of Torrey's life and work, and remains a powerful testament to his enduring legacy.
