Description
Charles Bustill’s copy, with his ownership inscription. Bustill was a distinguished conductor on the Underground Railroad and maternal grandfather of Paul Robeson. Anglo-African Magazine was founded in 1859 by African American abolitionist Thomas Hamilton as a vehicle for the works of fellow African American writers, including the physician, editor and African nationalist Martin Robison Delany. In early 1865, Delany met with President Lincoln, who described him as “a most extraordinary and intelligent man.”
