North Carolina Slave Narratives, USA, Slave Narratives, Paperback The view that slavery could best be described by those who had themselves experienced it personally has found expression in several thousand commentaries, autobiographies, narratives, and interviews with those who « endured. » Although most of these accounts appeared before the Civil War, more than one-third are the result of the ambitious efforts of the Federal Writers’ Project of the Works Progress Administration (WPA) to interview surviving ex-slaves during the 1930s. The result of these efforts was the Slave Narrative Collection, a group of autobiographical accounts of former slaves that today stands as one of the most enduring and noteworthy achievements of the WPA. Compiled in seventeen states during the years 1936-38, the collection consists of more than two thousand interviews with former slaves, most of them first-person accounts of slave life and the respondents’ own reactions to bondage. The interviews afforded aged ex-slaves an unparalleled opportunity to give their personal accounts of life under the « peculiar institution, » to describe in their own words what it felt like to be a slave in the United States. –Norman R. Yetman, American Memory, Library of Congress This paperback edition of selected North Carolina narratives is reprinted in facsimile from the typewritten pages of the interviewers, just as they were originally typed.

Owney the Postal Dog, USA, Applewood Books, Paperback A richly illustrated children’s book about the world travels of Owney, the canine mascot of the United States Postal Service from 1888-1897. With charming illustrations on every page and sweet, simple prose, Owney the Postal Dog tells the heartwarming true story of a homeless puppy who became the most well-traveled dog in the world. Owney, a friendly terrier mix, snuck into the Albany Post Office in 1888, and the postmen decided to keep him. One day Owney hopped into the mail car of a train bound for New York City. After returning home safe and sound, Owney soon set off on longer railroad journeys to Washington, D.C., Chicago, St. Louis, Salt Lake City, San Francisco, and Mexico. Everywhere he went, mail clerks hung tags and badges on his collar. In 1895 Owney embarked on his biggest adventure yet: a steamship trip around the world. Owney wore a tag that read: To all who may meet this dog: Owney is his name. He is the pet of 100,000 postal clerks in the United States of America. He starts today, August 19, 1895, for a trip around the world. Treat him kindly and speed him on his journey across the ocean and land, to Yokohama, Hong Kong, and New York. From New York send him overland to Tacoma by fast mail. Originally published in 1935, Owney’s story continues to delight children with its timelessly fascinating subjects of transportation, world travel, and a lovable dog. This book is also perfect for anyone interested in the rich history of the Railway Post Office and the United States Postal Service, both of which Owney served during his lifetime.
