This document--the first African American biography and a work predating Jacobs's Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl by almost 30 years--is an historical treasure. Paul's portrayal of Jackson's Christian sensibility, his idealism, and his racial awareness emphasizes his humanity and exemplary American character over his racial identity.
