Incidents Linda Brent

Incidents, I was born a slave; but I did not know until six years of happy childhood had passed. My father was a carpenter and was considered so intelligent and skilled in his trade that when buildings were to be erected outside the common line, he was sent from long distances to be the site manager. On the condition of paying his mistress two hundred dollars a year and supporting himself, he was allowed to work at his trade and manage his own affairs.
