Summary "Slave Narratives: A Folk History of Slavery in the United States from Interviews with Former Slaves" is a historical account compiled by the Federal Writers' Project between the mid-1930s and late 1930s. This work consists of first-hand interviews with former slaves, capturing their personal experiences, stories, and reflections on their lives before, during, and after slavery. The collection serves as a vital record of the oral history and cultural heritage of African Americans, offering insight into their struggles, resilience, and everyday life. The opening of this compilation introduces various informants, detailing their backgrounds and memories associated with slavery and the Civil War. For instance, Mary Raines, a centenarian, shares poignant memories of her early life and the experiences of her family during the slavery era, encapsulating her perspective on the transition from servitude to freedom. Meanwhile, Frank Range recounts his brave efforts to save his master during the war, highlighting the complex relationships that existed between slaves and their owners. As the narratives unfold, they encompass various themes including hardship, resilience, and the pursuit of a better life, providing readers with firsthand accounts that humanize the historical context of slavery in America.
