Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Beecher Stowes vivid descriptions uncover the harrowing situations faced by slaves in Civil War America. When a Kentucky farmer faces financial ruin, he reluctantly sells his slaves, and Uncle Tom finds himself the property of a cruel plantation owner, fighting for his freedom and ultimately, for his right to live.
