A critical edition of a newly discovered autobiography, this is a rare glimpse into the life of a woman who was an educated urban slave in Charleston, South Carolina; served after the American Civil War as a minister of the African Methodist Episcopal Church; and contributed as a preacher, teacher, and postmistress to civic development in post-Reconstruction and early twentieth-century South Carolina.
