Interesting to hear the story of the insurrection in Turner's own words. Of course historians debate on whether this is actually his own words or whether Thomas Gray took liberties with the story. Still it gives an interesting glimpse of additives and proceedings of the times.

I know there is debate about the legitmancy of these "confessions". That Gray, a white man, had a reason for writing the way he did. However, this edit does make an attempt to place the confessions in context, including photographs of slavery not just in the South, but also the slave trade itself. It is worth reading for anyone interested in slavery, American history, the Civil War.
