In anticipation of the screening of the film 12 Years a Slave at this year's Telluride by the Sea Film Festival, author David Fiske will talk about Solomon Northup, the man behind the memoir of the same name.

A companion to the classic African-American autobiographical narrative, Twelve Years A Slave, this work presents fascinating new information about the 1841 kidnapping, 1853 rescue, and pre- and post-slavery life of Solomon Northup.

David Fiske, author of Solomon Northup: His Life Before and After Slavery, will be one of the authors participating in Autumn Leaves: the Glens Falls Chronicle Book Fair.

"What Happened to Solomon Northup?" will be the topic of a historical talk at the Fort Edward Art Center, in Fort Edward, New York, on June 21, 2012 at 7:30 pm. The Art Center is located at 83 Broadway. The program is free and open to the public.
