<p><b>New page</b></p><div>==Biography==<br />
Smith was born in [[Guinea]], West Africa, but captured and sent to [[Rhode Island]] as a slave when he was about eight. <br />
<br />
He bought his own freedom when he was 37 and spent most of the rest of his life earning the money to buy the freedom of his wife, three children and three other [[slaves]]. He became a landowner, with three houses, 100 acres and 20 boats, and was famous for his great physical strength. <br />
<br />
He had no education at all and had to dictate his autobiography to a schoolmaster. This landmark volume contains a wealth of detail remembered about his early life in Africa, his life as a slave and his quest for human dignity in the face of social and legal racism.<br />
