Captain Canot
The amazing, shocking, and true autobiography of a trans-Atlantic slave trader who plied the slave trade between Africa and Cuba for twenty years from 1820 to 1840. Dealing forthrightly with all aspects of this trade in humans, the book starts with a small biographical background before moving in to the core of his story, which can be divided into five major sections: how Africans were captured, how they were transported, how they were "unloaded" at their destination, how the European powers attempted to halt the trade, and finally, the role of the Arab Muslim slavers in the awful business. Canot's book contains many revelations which have traditionally been obscured in other accounts of the...
Captain Canot: Twenty Years of an African Slave Ship
"Captain Canot, or Twenty Years of an African Slaver" is a biography of Captain Theodore Canot written and edited from his journals, memoranda and conversations by Brantz Mayer. Canot's biography is notable for its vividness and general accuracy and it illustrates perfectly the conduct and character of every branch of the slave trade.
Captain Canot, Twenty Years of an African Slaver
Sometimes published as *Adventures of an African Slaver,* this replica of the 1854 first edition restores its original title. All of its unique power remains intact. Adapted from the journals, memoranda, and conversations of French-Italian seafarer and notorious slaver CAPTAIN THEODORE CANOT (1804-1860), this vivid and unexaggerated depiction of the slave trade between Africa and the New World is prized as a firsthand account of every aspect of the industry, from how slaves are purchased to the first reactions of newly arrived slaves to the New World and beyond. Explicit and shocking, this volume is also a startling illustration of the racist attitudes of its day, from Canot's justifications for the slave trade to the introduction by American journalist BRANTZ MAYER (1809-1879), who compiled Canot's material for publication and defended his subject's work. This is essential reading for anyone interested in the history of American slavery.

Captain Canot
While inscribing this work with your name, as a testimonial of our long, unbroken friendship, you will let me say, I am sure, not only how, but why I have written it.About a year ago I was introduced to its hero, by Dr. James Hall, the distinguished founder and first governor of our colony at Cape Palmas. While busy with his noble task in Africa, Dr. Hall accidentally became acquainted with Captain Canot, during his residence at Cape Mount, and was greatly impressed in his favor by the accounts of all who knew him. Indeed,--setting aside his career as a slaver,--Dr. Hall's observation convinced him that Canot was a man of unquestionable integrity.
Captain Canot; Or, Twenty Years of an African Slaver
An authentic, dramatic, shocking, and adventure-packed biography of an Italian-born slave trader who plied the Africa to Cuba slave trade from 1820 to 1840. This book has immense value not only for its vivid descriptions of the inhumanity of the slave trade, but also for its detailed explanations of how the African slave trade worked in Africa. Specifically, this work reveals that slavery was a long-standing African tradition practiced long before the Europeans arrived, and that it was Africans and Muslim-slave traders in particular who provided all the slaves eventually transported to the New World. It is clear from all the "transactions" and "shipments" which Canot describes, that without ...
