Uncle Tom’s Cabin
by George L. Aiken after Harriet Beecher Stowe

The harrowing flight of Eliza’s family from Kentucky to Canada, pursued by bounty hunters. Meanwhile, “Uncle” Tom saves another family through his Christian virtue, only to be sacrificed to the merciless Simon Legree. A thrilling narrative, a touching portrait of sacrifice…and the source of enduring characters and charicatures owned and disowned by later generations. This most famous theatrical adaptation of the novel still inspires and enrages with its portrayal of the conditions and hypocrisies of American slavery. In 1858, more popular than The Drunkard!
