Douglass, an American Slave
I was seldom whipped by my old master, and suffered little from
any thing else than hunger and cold. I suffered much from
hunger, but much more from cold. In hottest summer, and
coldest winter, I was kept almost naked – no shoes, no
stockings, no jacket, no trousers, nothing on but a coarse tow
linen shirt, reaching only to my knees.
