The Confessions of Nat Turner by Thomas Grey

This document is a strange combination--it's ostensibly Nat Turner's confession, after he was captured after the slave revolt he lead in Southampton, Virginia in 1831, but it's also mediated by Thomas Grey, the man who recorded this confession. I was interested in the attention paid to catalogues--a list of people killed, a list of slaves implicated and tried (both appendices added by Grey), the careful noting of the progress of the revolt.
