Actually, Jacobs was the original publisher of her slave narrative. Numerous publishing houses committed to the project, but unfortunately, their plans never came to fruition. Phillips and Samson initially committed to publication but filed bankruptcy. Thayer and Eldridge experienced the same problem. In the end, Jacobs self-published.
