Twelve Years a Slave (2013)

The book tells how Solomon Northrup, a free carpenter and fiddler, was deceived by two men who originally offered him work as a musician in New York state and Washington, D.C., then drugged, kidnapped, and sold him into slavery while in the nation's capital. Two men presenting themselves as circus promoters offered Northup work as a fiddler, first in New York City and then in Washington, D.C. They offered a generous amount of money to work for their circus in the capital and payment for his transportation and a hotel. After they arrived and watched some of President Harrison's funeral procession, Northup was drugged at the hotel room.

He was bound and moved to a slave pen owned by James Burch, a slave trader. It was located in the Yellow House, one of several slave markets on the National Mall. This and Robey’s Tavern were located in the area between the present-day buildings housing the Department of Education and the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum, within view of the Capitol.^[2] Burch coerced Northup into accepting a new name and past, that of having been born a slave in Georgia. Burch told Northup that if he were to tell his true story to another person, he would be killed. When he asserted his status as a free man, Burch beat him violently; Northup finally stopped protesting.

Northup was transported with other slaves to New Orleans, Louisiana by ship, where he and other enslaved blacks contracted smallpox and some died. He asked a sympathetic sailor to get a message to his family, which the man did, but his family did not know how to find him in Louisiana. Northup was sold by Burch's partner in New Orleans to a planter on a bayou of the Red River, and had several different owners during his 12 years as a slave in Louisiana. In some places his carpentry and other skills earned him relatively good treatment. The contrast with his previous life made the deprivations and sufferings of slavery worse: the meager slave diet, a cabin with a dirt floor, poor clothing, restrictions on his freedom, numerous beatings, and other physical punishment. At one time, he was leased to a man named Tibeats (also spelled Tibbets), who lost his temper and attacked him with an axe. Northup fought back and ran back to a former owner, who finally took him in.

Northup eventually regained his freedom. He met Samuel Bass, a white carpenter from Canada. Northup learned that Bass did not share the racial prejudice of white men in America and ultimately confided his story to him. Northup also asked Bass to get a letter describing where he was located to his family and friends. Bass delivered the letters to Northup’s wife, who called on Henry Northup, an attorney who was a family friend and son of the man who had held and freed Northup's father. Henry Northup contacted New York state officials, and the governor appointed him as an agent, under current state law, to go to Louisiana to free Solomon Northup. Bass and Northup took a great risk in starting this process; when forced to free Northup, his enslaver Tibeats said he would have killed the man who took Northup's letter to the north
