William Lloyd Garrison The Abolistionist by Archibald H. Grimke (Illustrated) PLUS His NY Address "No Compromise with Slavery."
This is the story of William Lloyd Garrison (December 10, 1805 – May 24, 1879), the author of the newspaper "The Liberator" who fought against slavery for 40 years.
From the Preface: "The author of this volume desires by way of preface to say just two things:—firstly, that it is his earnest hope that this record of a hero may be an aid to brave and true living in the Republic, so that the problems knocking at its door for solution may find the heads, the hands, and the hearts equal to the performance of the duties imposed by them upon the men and women of this generation. William Lloyd Garrison was brave and true. Bravery and truth were the secret of his marvelous career and achievements. May his countrymen and countrywomen imitate his example and be brave and true, not alone in emergent moments, but in everyday things as well.
So much for the author's firstly, now for his secondly, which is to acknowledge his large indebtedness in the preparation of this book to that storehouse of anti-slavery material, the story of the life of William Lloyd Garrison by his children. Out of its garnered riches he has filled his sack."

About the Book
Biographical books, or bios, are detailed descriptions of a person's life. A biography is more than simply the basic facts like education, work, relationships, and death. It portrays a person's experience of major life events. A biography presents a subject's life story, emphasizing certain aspects of his or her life, and including intimate details of their experiences, which may include an analysis of their personality. Biographical works are generally non-fiction, but fictional works can also be used to portray a person's life. An in-depth form of biographical coverage is referred to as legacy writing. An authorized biography refers to a book written with the permission, cooperation, and at times, participation of the subject or the subject's heirs. An autobiography, on the other hand, is written by the person themselves, sometimes with the assistance of a collaborator or “ghostwriter”.
Also in this Book
Our offering includes memoirs, or collections of memories that individuals have written about moments or events, both public or private, that took place in their lives. While the assertions made in these works are generally taken to be factual, the biases or perspectives of the authors are often present. Historically, memoirs have been defined as a subcategory of biography or autobiography, however the genre is differentiated in form, since it presents a narrower focus. While a biography or autobiography tells the story "of a life", a memoir generally tells the story "from a life", tending to emphasize touchstone events and turning points in the author's life experience. The authors are referred to as memoirists or memorialists.

Archibald Henry Grimke was a negro lawyer, author, publicist.
He became a prominent figure in negro affairs, being made president of the local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and later vice-president of the entire organization.
He was trustee of the Estate of Emmeline Cushing for Negro Education, president of the Frederick Douglass Memorial and Historical Association, treasurer of the Committee of Twelve
Background
Grimké was born on August 17, 1849, in Charleston, South Carolina, the son of Henry Grimké of South Carolina and Nancy Weston, a beautiful family slave. When his father died, the child was entrusted to the guardianship of his white half-brother.
Education
After the Civil War, young Grimké, a boy of sixteen, went North and partly through his own efforts, partly with the help of friends, entered Lincoln University, receiving the degree of B. A. in 1870 and M. A. in 1872. With the aid of his aunt, Sarah Moore Grimké, he then entered the Harvard Law School and took the LL. B. degree in 1874.
Career
In 1875 Grimké was established in Boston and began to practice law. He very soon became a prominent figure in negro affairs, being made president of the local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and later vice-president of the entire organization. In 1879 Grimké fairly settled and began to develop his natural talent for writing, contributing articles to the periodical press in the interests of the negro race. From 1883 to 1885 he was the editor of the Hub, a Boston paper devoted to colored welfare. This post offered him his opportunity to begin his lifelong crusade against race prejudice, race discrimination, and the double standard of sex morality, of which he himself had been a victim. In the early nineties he published the two biographies for which he is best known in the literary field: The Life of William Lloyd Garrison, the Abolitionist (1891), and The Life of Charles Sumner, the Scholar in Politics (1892). In connection with these works he produced numerous pamphlets on the history of the anti-slavery movement and a series of special articles for the Boston Herald, the Boston Traveler, and for the Atlantic Monthly. At the same time he became increasingly active as a member of the American Negro Academy, under whose auspices most of his pamphlets and lectures were published, in agitating for a fully operative negro franchise. In 1894 Grimké was appointed by President Cleveland American consul to Santo Domingo where he served until 1898. Upon his retirement, again in Boston, he turned with fresh zest to the question of the negro vote. In 1899 he addressed an open letter to President McKinley in which he stated the negro point of view with admirable clearness on behalf of the Colored National League. From this time forward, he devoted his best energies to writing and lecturing on the problems of the negro race in connection with his work for the American Negro Academy, of which he was president from 1903 to 1916. In 1919, as a testimonial to his efforts in behalf of negro advancement, he received the Spingarn medal, the highest honor annually bestowed by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People upon an American citizen of African descent. The body of Grimké's writings is considerable, typical of which are: Right on the Scaffold, or, The Martyrs of 1822 (1901), a sympathetic life of Télémaque (Denmark) Vesey, leader of the Charleston slave rising of 1822; The Ballotless Victim of One-Party Governments (1913), a protest against race-discrimination at the polls; "The Sex Question and Race Segregation, " Papers of the American Negro Academy, 1915 (1916), an indictment of the double standard; The Ultimate Criminal (1915), a suggestive tractate on the influence of race discrimination upon negro crime; and The Shame of America, or The Negro's Casc Against the Republic (1924). In addition to his lifelong crusade on behalf of his race, Grimké found time for other and varied activities. He was trustee of the Estate of Emmeline Cushing for Negro Education, treasurer of the Committee of Twelve for Negro Advancement, member of the Authors' Club, London, and member of the American Social Science Association. Grimke died on February 25, 1930, at his home in Washington, where he had lived and worked since 1905.
