Douglas R Egerton / Douglas R. Egerton / Douglas REgerton
In this biography of the great rebel leader Denmark Vesey, Douglas R. Egerton employs a variety of historical sources-church records, court documents, travel accounts, and newspapers from America and Saint Domingue-to recreate the lost world of the mysterious Vesey. The revised edition is updated throughout, and includes a new section addressing the recent debate over the conspiracy of 1822.
