David Wilson

This query appears to contain an error. "Twelve Years a Slave" was written by Solomon Northup, not David Wilson. David Wilson served as the amanuensis (someone who writes down another's words) who helped Northup record his story, but is not considered the author of the work. To provide accurate information about David Wilson specifically: David Wilson was a New York-based lawyer and writer who worked in the mid-19th century. He is primarily known for his role in helping to transcribe and publish Solomon Northup's memoir "Twelve Years a Slave" in 1853. Wilson worked as a local attorney in Whitehall and Fort Edward, New York, where he encountered Northup after his rescue from slavery. His careful documentation of Northup's narrative helped create one of the most important first-hand accounts of American slavery. Beyond his connection to Northup's memoir, little detailed biographical information about Wilson's life and other works has been widely documented in historical records.

Since David Wilson primarily served as an amanuensis for Solomon Northup's "Twelve Years a Slave" rather than publishing works under his own name, there are very few direct reader reviews of his writing available. Scholars note his clear, detailed transcription style helped make Northup's story accessible to 19th century readers. His legal background appears to have influenced the precise documentation of names, places, and events in the narrative. Some academic reviews indicate Wilson may have shaped certain aspects of the narrative's tone and structure to appeal to white Northern audiences, though the core content remained Northup's own account. No significant reader ratings or reviews exist for Wilson individually on Goodreads, Amazon, or other major review platforms, as he is typically only mentioned briefly in reviews of "Twelve Years a Slave" itself. The limited historical record of Wilson's other writing or legal work makes it difficult to evaluate broader reader reception of his work beyond his role in helping publish Northup's memoir.

Based on the provided information, I cannot make a list of works authored by David Wilson, as he is primarily known as the amanuensis who helped transcribe Solomon Northup's narrative Twelve Years a Slave, rather than being its author or having other documented published works of his own. The book should be properly attributed to Solomon Northup as the author.
