I, Dred Scott: A Fictional Slave Narrative Based on the Life and Legal Precedent of Dred Scott

98 pp. | McElderry | January, 2005 | Trade ISBN 0-689-85975-9 $16.95
(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Bonnie Christensen. Former slave Dred Scott recounts, in the dialect of the period, the personal and historical events that eventually led to freedom for him and his family. The story is inspiring, but the telling falls short, with a confusing litany of names, dates, and legal maneuvers. Wood engravings illustrate the text. An afterword, author's note, and chronology complete the book. Bib.
