Finally, I had a chance to finish this excellent book, Traders in Men. No one, whether in the UK, Africa, or the Americas, comes out looking good in this narrative. This is a highly readable exploration of the connections among the merchants that made the Transatlantic slave trade possible.

For the past several years I’ve been working on a database of Pennsylvania’s surviving county slave registrations. Now, a pilot site exists. I hope JTR will demonstrate the value of collecting these materials in a single place. There’s more to do, but I’m proud of this. justandtrue.lib.uiowa.edu
