2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. The Final Victims: Foreign Slave Trade to North America; 1783-1810By William D HowardSince the 1990s; I have been engaged in historical research surrounding the Atlantic Slave Trade. This research has greatly benefited my own (and my famility's) understanding of our African ancestry. One of my ancestors came from present day Nigeria. Thanks to James McMillin and his colleagues (especially David Eltis); the capstone of this research has led to the identification of the American flagged slave ship which carried my Yoruba ancestor to South Carolina in 1800 and to a clearer understanding of the European; American; and African historical circumstances that caused him to be captured and sent to America in the first place. The text is detailed and otherwise excellent; while the CD Rom proved to be the icing on the cake. Thanks to the detailed documentation; I was able to corroborate much of what I needed. Thank goodness for this very timely and well researched resource.William D Howard
