The Emancipation of Robert Sadler by Robert Sadler

Just finished reading The Emancipation of Robert Sadler. It is about Robert's life, starting when he was a young child sold into slavery by his father. This all occurred in the early 1900s in South Carolina---no that is not a misprint. I found the first 2 parts of the book quite interesting detailing his life as a slave and his life after he escaped as he struggled to acclimate to the outside world. I wasn't as fond of part 3 of the book about his ministry, I thought that part was rather disjointed and was lots of little stories about how miraculous various things were.

Rating 3/5
