The book, published in 1853, recounts the horrifying experience of Northup being lured to Washington, D.C., where he was abducted and sold into slavery in the Deep South.

Northup endured 12 long years of slavery in Louisiana before he managed to clandestinely communicate with his friends and family in New York, leading to his eventual release. His memoir offers an in-depth view of the slave markets in Washington, D.C., and New Orleans, and provides a detailed account of the cultivation practices of cotton and sugar, as well as the treatment of slaves on major plantations in Louisiana.
