520			_a"Shadow and Light" by Mifflin Wistar Gibbs is an autobiography written in the early 20th century. The book chronicles the life of Gibbs, detailing his experiences as a fatherless boy who rose to become a significant figure in various fields, including as a carpenter, anti-slavery lecturer, and United States consul. It reflects the intricate interplay of race, opportunity, and personal ambition during a time of profound social change in America. The opening of the autobiography introduces Gibbs's early life, beginning with his birth in Philadelphia in 1823. He recounts the challenges he faced, particularly the loss of his father at a young age and the subsequent need to contribute to his family's support. As he describes his educational journey and apprenticeship in carpentry, Gibbs sets the stage for a life characterized by resilience and determination. He shares vivid memories of pivotal historical moments, such as witnessing the abolitionist movement and the impact of slavery on society, which helped shape his identity and future endeavors.
