Uncle Tom's Cabin: Or, Life Among the Lowly (The Penguin American Library)

by Harriet Beecher Stowe, Ann Douglas
Finished on June 20th 2007
Rated by bookbird:

The language is tough at first, and Stowe (justly so, given the author's purpose) becomes very preachy at times. This book should be required reading for all studying slavery and the Civil War. An excellent study of the mindset of the period.
