The Stono Rebellion of 1739 ranks as South Carolina's largest slave insurrection and one of the bloodiest uprisings in American history. This volume presents a variety of primary documents dealing with the Rebellion. These are followed by excerpts from three scholarly interpretations of the revolt that demonstrate how historians have used some of the same documents to reach divergent conclusions. Smith teaches history at the U. of South Carolina. Annotation ©2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
