This might be an important find for my family interest. Solomon was attached to the Northup family in the Fort Edward area of the Hudson Valley area of New York. Solomon was kidnapped in 1841 and sold into slavery. He was rescued by Henry B Northup in late 1852 with a return to the Northup home in January or early February 1853. Perhaps the book you found was a copy of "Twelve Years A Slave" by Solomon telling of his capture, sale into slavery, and captivity. A letter was written to descendants of Henry B Northup in 1909 from a contemporary who knew Solomon and his father, Mintus, which gives more details. The letter forms the core of the narrative of a chapter in Edith Hay Wyckoff's book based on letters found in her grandparents home and is a collection of stories of the Northup family branch which was centered in the Fort Edward area of New York and then spread out across America. The book is "The Autobiography of an American Family," published in 2000 by the Washington County Historical Society, 167 Broadway, Fort Edward, NY 12828. The ISBN number is 1-881868-02-8, which doesn't mean much because I am pretty sure the only sales outlet is the Washington County Historical Society bookstore :-) Solomon Northup's book is still in print.
