Mentioned in Clegg's "Capitalism and Slavery" (footnote 41, page 292).
John Clegg - Capitalism and Slavery

He notes that these were often implicitly in comparison to the conditions faced by others, of stories about particularly brutal treatment elsewhere.
Escott considers the WPA slave narratives.
