The Life of William Grimes offers an eye-opening account of a Life during and after slavery, written by a man who experienced and witnessed the worst.
The tone set by Grimes in his recollections is one of bitter resentment and indignation at an experience which was demeaning, physically and mentally.
Unlike other Slave memoirs, The Life of William Grimes has not been sanitized or otherwise edited for the benefit of what, at the time, was a mostly white readership.
