Review (PDF) The Confessions Of Nat Turner: And Related Documents (Bedford Cultural Editions Series)
Careful study of the Nat Turner slave rebellion of 1831 reveals much about master, slaves, and the relationship between them in the antebellum South. The central document in this volume — Nat Turner's confession follwing the rebellion in Virginia — is supported by newspaper articles, trial transcripts, and excerpts from the diary of Virginia governor John Floyd.

It is for me a rivating period of our history.
Good history book
I needed this book to write my senior research paper for college. It has a great selection from Nat Turner's confession to other related articles and documents concerning the rebellion.
This is a terrific book. The introduction is particularly insightful. This is a good book for anybody interested in the history of slavery and slave rebellions.
I love history, so naturally this book sounded interesting to me. I learded a lot from it. It was a very informative, well written book about one of America's strongest Slaves. I admire his ablility to stand behind his beliefs, and this book interprets his life with grace and integrity. I recommend this book to anyone who likes reading dense books packed with history.
