Black Ivory Quotes

“I began my tale in the hope that I might produce something to interest the young (perchance, also, the old) in a most momentous case—the total abolition of the African slave-trade. I close it with the prayer that God may make it a tooth in the file which shall eventually cut the chain of slavery, and set the black man free.”
― R.M. Ballantyne, Black Ivory: A Tale of Adventure Among the Slavers of East Africa
