John Gabriel Stedman
John Gabriel Stedman (1744 – 7 March 1797) was a Dutch-born Scottish soldier and writer best known for writing ''The Narrative of a Five Years Expedition against the Revolted Negroes of Surinam'' (1796). This narrative covers describes his experience in Suriname between 1773 and 1777, where he was a soldier in the Dutch military deployed to assist local troops fighting against groups of escaped slaves. He first recorded his experiences in a personal diary that he later rewrote and expanded into the ''Narrative''. The ''Narrative'' was a bestseller of the time and, with its firsthand depictions of slavery and other aspects of colonialism, became an important tool in the fledgling abolitionist movement. When compared with Stedman's personal diary, his published ''Narrative'' is a sanitized and romanticized version of Stedman's time in Surinam. Provided by Wikipedia
