About this book
The Confessions of Nat Turner is the 1831 pamphlet taken down by the lawyer Thomas R. Gray from Nat Turner (1800-1831) in his cell after the Virginia slave rebellion Turner led, the deadliest in American history. Turner, a literate enslaved preacher who believed himself called by visions, recounts the uprising in which some sixty white people died and the brutal reprisals that followed. Mediated through Gray's hand, it remains the central and most debated primary document of American slave revolt.
