The Log of the Vigilante

by Herbert Woodward Martin

This poem reflects some of the minute details of the slavery period: the voyage, the occasional suicides of the captives, the escape attempts, and the rewards advertised by the slaveholders. Past, present and future converge, with the slave ship as symbol.
