Description
Joahua Hemstead wrote in his diary nearly every day for more than forty-seven years. A man of infrequent expositions, he nevertheless cataloged his daily labor and family fortunes in New London, Connecticut with astonishing detail. A good citizen, well respected farmer and tradesman, and devoted father of nine, Joshua, who lived from 1678 to 1758, shared his home with one person longer than any other, Adam Jackson, his slave. Examining Hempstead's historically revealing diary, captures a portrait of slavery in the early North, a chapter of American history about which far too little has been said. While many are well acquainted with the plantation slavery of the sprawling South, they may be startled to learn that in the North slavery was not only a part of daily life, it was often sitting just across the dinner table.
