Richard L. Hall began work on this volume in 1983 while studying at Johns Hopkins University. Under the auspices of a grant awarded by the State of Maryland, he transcribed the entire African correspondence of the Maryland State Colonization Society. In 1985-86 he was a fellow in the Writing Seminars at Hopkins.
Splendid... Hall has constructed not only the community's great events-its trials, elections, and wars-but also the thoughts and hopes of countless people striving to create a new society. New York Review of Books
