weekends with the president s men. it s kind of a kick-y sidebar piece. in the new york times that was published in the summer of 2006. and that piece revealed that that sights on the eastern shore of maryland, mount misery, that house, that farm, had actually been recently pursued just and it is now being lived in as a private home. can you imagine? right. the house is first of all still cold mount misery today. that is still the name by which it is known. who would want him to live in a place called that misery? but then you get to the reason that it is called mount misery, right? it is the home, the actual home, the same building that is standing there since 1804. frederick douglass was tortured there in 1833, 1834. it is the same actual physical place in which the great frederick douglass was tortured and beaten and worked nearly to death every day for a year.
