About this audiobook
Nate Shaw's father was born into slavery. Nate was born into a bondage that was only a little gentler. At the age of nine, he was picking cotton and plowing behind a mule. At the age of forty-seven, he faced down a crowd of white deputies who had come to confiscate a neighbor's livestock. His defiance cost him twelve years in prison.
This triumphant autobiography, All God's Dangers, assembled from the eighty-four-year-old Shaw's oral reminiscences, is the plainspoken story of an "over average" man who witnessed momentous changes in the lives of Southern people, black and white, and whose unassuming courage helped bring those changes about.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Loved it. I had thus book in my possession years ago. He us my great granddaddy! Started reading it and never finished. Reading it this time was a true delight. Hearing about my uncles, aunts and my grandmama, etc. he was a remarkable man. It’s as thought he was telling me his story.
