New York Burning Liberty, Slavery, And Conspiracy in Eighteenth-Century Manhattan

"Instead of finding a single, smoking firebrand of explanation, Lepore's social sleuthing provides something even better: the most vivid and telling description of life and death in a colonial seaport yet produced by a historian. By crafting a rich social context, Lepore illuminates the horrific decisions of people with power over the bodies of the vulnerable."Lepore, Jill is the author of 'New York Burning Liberty, Slavery, And Conspiracy in Eighteenth-Century Manhattan', published 2006 under ISBN 9781400032266 and ISBN 1400032261.
