In early September 1859, the Boston firm of George C. Rand and Avery published Our Nig: Sketches in the Life of a Free Black, a book widely accepted as the first published novel written in English by a Black woman. Wilson was born and raised in Milford, NH. On this tour, you will hear the story of Wilson’s journey from indentured servitude to authorship and visit the sites where her courageous story unfolds.
