The Montgomery County Department of History & Archives will host a book discussion on Solomon Northrup's Twelve Years a Slave.  

Amazon.com describes the book as "The most credible and telling contemporaneous portrait of American slavery. In 1841, Solomon Northup was betrayed, kidnapped, and sold as a slave in the pre-Civil War South. This is the true, shocking story of the twelve years Northup spent in slavery. A testimony to the strength of one man's spirit and his remarkable will to survive."

A limited release of the movie based upon the book of the same name is scheduled for October 18th 2013 in the United States.  To coincide with the movie release, participants will discuss the events that transpired nearby almost two centuries ago.

The book discussion will be held at the Department of History & Archives at the Old Courthouse, 9 Park Street in Fonda on Wednesday, Nov. 6th 10am-noon.  Books may be found either through your local library, at Amazon.com or online at Google Books.

As seating may be limited, please register for the book discussion by calling the Dept. of History & Archives at (518) 853-8186.
