Reviews
A richly documented work that restores the Antelope to its central place in the long, grim history of the Atlantic slave trade., Bryant masterfully narrates the incredible machinations revolving around the eventual case, which would drag on for seven years, and take a considerable toll on the captives awaiting a decision.... Epic in scope, providing rich portraits of life at sea and trade in the Atlantic world, slavery and its hazards in the malaria-ridden South, and the tension between the ethical and financial interests of a slew of chummy Southern gentlemen adjudicating the case, Dark Places of the Earth is an invaluable contribution to the understanding of antebellum America., Illuminating.... Fascinating.... Mr. Bryant provides information on many topics, among them: piracy and privateering; cotton production; the yellow fever; living conditions in the South and in Liberia; and, most compellingly, positive law (decided by courts or the government) vs. natural law (moral or religious principle)., [Bryant] meticulously unwinds the years-long, complex legal history that finally led to the case being heard by the six justices of John Marshall's Supreme Court, four of whom were slave owners.... From the West African shores to Georgia, Washington, D.C., and, finally Liberia, Bryant's riveting history of this case and these slaves is a remarkable one., Dark Places of the Earth is a meticulously researched scholarly history that packs an emotional punch. Jonathan M. Bryant's sensitive characterizations of the actors in his narrative--pirates, lawyers, politicians, judges, and slaves--are worthy of a novel., Bryant presents a broadened picture of the transatlantic slave trade while illuminating a legal battle with huge moral implications., From its poetic title to its concluding sentence, Dark Places of the Earth spins a riveting yarn, using the vexed voyage of the slave ship Antelope to illuminate a profound moment in American history. Vividly drawn characters and courtroom drama make this narrative history of a high order., With exhaustive research and in-depth analysis, Jonathan Bryant sheds new and revealing light on a dark chapter in the history of American slavery, and on a Supreme Court decision that, despite its faults, deserves to be better known., Besides providing a glimpse into the brutal and dangerous world of the slave trade, [Bryant] overhauls our view of numerous early American historical figures--not only Key but also John Marshall, James Madison, and John Quincy Adams.... In Bryant's gripping telling, the moral contradictions of the time are laid bare.... Carefully researched, beautifully crafted, Dark Places--the title comes, ominously but evocatively, from Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness--is one of the very few books that delivers on the promiscuous promise to employ an obscure episode to offer new insights on a well-trod byway of history., An eye-opening account of a little-known (yet horrifying) episode in American history.... In Dark Places of the Earth, Bryant has salvaged the history of an era when black lives mattered to slavers only as profit and the dead were thrown to the sharks., Dark Places of the Earth is a meticulously researched scholarly history that packs an emotional punch. Jonathan M. Bryant writes smoothly and unhurriedly in language fully accessible to the general reader. He relates the story behind a complicated and momentous case before the US Supreme Court, filling it with human interest and suspense. His sensitive characterizations of the actors in his narrative--pirates, lawyers, politicians, judges, and slaves--are worthy of a novel., Detailed and fascinating account.... This is a superb examination of an obscure but important episode in the struggle against slavery., In this fascinating and engagingly written study, Jonathan M. Bryant illuminates a largely forgotten--but highly significant--episode in American legal history. Based on prodigious and meticulous research, Dark Places of the Earth will appeal to general readers and scholars alike. An important, original book., In Bryant's gripping telling, the moral contradictions of the time are laid bare.... Carefully researched, beautifully crafted, Dark Places--the title comes, ominously but evocatively, from Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness--is one of the very few books that delivers on the promiscuous promise to employ an obscure episode to offer new insights on a well-trod byway of history., Jonathan Bryant sheds new and revealing light on a dark chapter in the history of American slavery, and on a Supreme Court decision that, despite its faults, deserves to be better known.
