RAREST Uncle Robin in His Cabin in Virginia, And Tom Without One in Boston (1853) ANTI STOWE / TOM
Uncle Robin in His Cabin in Virginia, And Tom Without One in Boston by J. W. Page, Richmond: J. W. Randolph, (1853), CONDITION IS FAIR/POOR WITH HEAVY OUTER WEAR - LOOSE COVER (you can fix this book). BEING SOLD ON IT'S AMAZING HISTORIC VALUE. RARE ATTACK ON STOWE'S UNCLE TOM'S CABIN - When Dr. Boswell of Virginia brings his new Pennsylvanian wife home to his plantation, it serves as Page's occasion to initiate Northern readers into his version of slavery, one in which the only source of discontent among slaves are abolitionists who lead them astray with false promises about freedom. When a slave named Tom does run away, and when Mr. Benson of Boston takes his new Virginian wife home with him to Massachusetts, Page can reveal his version of life in the North: it is a place where everyone from the South -- fugitive, bride and the free black "mammy" she takes with her -- dies. It is perhaps needless to say that Mrs. Boswell winds up living happily ever after on the doctor's plantation.
