Summary
This dramatic account of Captain Riley's trials and sufferings sold more that one million copies in his day and was even read by a young and impressionable Abraham Lincoln. The degradations of a slave existence and the courage to survive under the most harrowing conditions have rarely been recorded with such painful honesty.
Sufferings in Africa is a classic travel-adventure narrative and a fascinating testament of white Americans enslaved abroad, during a time when slavery flourished throughout the United States.

This book’s reader destroys the story.
I like to think I’m quite tolerant of poor narrators but this guy pretty much mangles any chance for the story to thrive. The writing style is of its time but I’ve listened to many similar where the reader’s made pleasant job of it.
