A champion of the poor and landless of any race, and a keen observer of the dilemmas facing uneducated Negroes in the postwar period, Tourg e offers us an important eyewitness account of one of the most tumultuous eras of American history, one that continues to influence the course of the American experiences of race and class to this day.American abolitionist and lawyer ALBION W. TOURG E (1838-1905) also wrote Figs and Thistles (1879).
