The full title of both the 18 editions is Life and Times of Frederick Douglass, Written by Himself. The 1892 revision brought Douglass's story up to date with thirteen new chapters, the final three of which covered his experience in Haiti, to which he was U.S. Although it is the least studied and analyzed, Life and Times of Frederick Douglass allows readers to view his life as a whole. Fredrick Douglass shed light on what life was like as an enslaved person. It is the only one of Douglass's autobiographies to discuss his life during and after the Civil War, including his encounters with American presidents such as Lincoln and Garfield, his account of the ill-fated " Freedman's Bank", and his service as the United States Marshall of the District of Columbia. Because of the emancipation of American slaves during and following the American Civil War, Douglass gave more details about his life as a slave and his escape from slavery in this volume than he could in his two previous autobiographies (which would have put him and his family in danger). Life and Times of Frederick Douglass is Frederick Douglass's third autobiography, published in 1881, revised in 1892.
