Library Acquires Rare, First Edition of “Twelve Years a Slave”
The University of Louisiana at Lafayette has acquired a first-edition copy of “Twelve Years a Slave.”
The book by Solomon Northup was published in 1853 and is housed in Dupré Library's Special Collections.
Its market value of about $10,000 has increased because of the recent success of “12 Years a Slave,” a 2013 film adapted from Northup’s memoir, according to Bruce Turner, assistant dean of special collections.

Due to inclement weather conditions, the library building will be closed on Tuesday, Jan. 21, Wednesday, Jan. 22, Thursday, Jan. 23, and Friday, Jan. 24.
