Title: "Speak Right On" says it loud and clear.
Review: This book about Dred Scott is fantastic! The author has such an ear for dialogue and description. I'd never really absorbed the cruelty of slavery until I read the scene where the old slave is beaten. I think I stopped breathing while reading it. The sheer impunity of the owners and overseers is staggering! The way everyone in the book talks about slaves as property, of no more importance than a piece of furniture ... they really believe that!Several scenes in the book pop off the page so that it seems like a movie's unfolding before your eyes. My favorite scene is when Dred's master berates his family around their campsite while they're moving to St. Louis. The description of old St. Louis is wonderful -- I knew hardly anything about it and I really felt like I was there! Overall, a very well-written, entertaining and educational read.
