Title: Nat Turner's Slave Rebellion in American History (In American History)
Review: Nat Turner's Slave Rebellion in American History (In American History)is a great book if all you want is an overview of the subject matter. The author has made use of a range of sources such as newspaper excerpts and legislation bills throughout, yet this book offers the reader a narrative rather than an interpretive history. I would recommend this book for high school children, or those who are interested in learning the basic facts about Nat Turner and the events that surrounded the insurrection. From a scholarly perspective, this publication is limited in its usefulness. On the upside, Edwards' book does contain some beautiful etchings, paintings and photographs that do not appear in many other books about Nat Turner.
