If I were looking, I would look at the Bibliography essay by Edgar McManus in his "A History of Negro Slavery in New York", (Syracuse University Press,1966). It is 12 pages long, and pretty complete. I am looking forward to other replies! Eve Smith I received this query and thought it best to pass it up the line to experts in the field (yes, that's you!) I am wondering if you could direct me toward any information about slavery in New York State. I am especially interested in any original texts written by slaves or anything else written about slavery at the time. The inquirer seems to want other than the usual bibliography most of us could piece together of the various articles and books written since slavery became illegal in 1828. Can anyone help?
