Northup was a black man who was born free in New York. His narrative tells of his kidnapping and sale into slavery in the Deep South. He was in bondage for 12 years in Louisiana before he was able to secretly get information to friends and family in New York who in turn secured his release with the aid of the state. Northup's account provides extensive details on the slave markets in Washington D.C. and New Orleans and describes at length cotton and sugar cultivation and slave treatment on major plantations in Louisiana. <br> Northup's narrative confirmed Stowe's own fictional portray about slavery in Louisiana in Uncle Tom's Cabin. Northup's account describes the daily life of slaves at Bayou Boeuf in Louisiana their diet and living conditions the relationship between master and slave and the means that slave catchers used to recapture runaways. In his narrative Northup compared his life in slavery to his life as a free man in a free state. While there were hundreds of such kidnappings he was among the few persons who gained freedom again. Northup's biography on his 12 year plight was the Best Picture Winner in the 2012 Academy Awards. Auburn : Miller, Orton & Mulligan hardcover
