In presenting this, my first book, to the public, I crave indulgence for whatever errors it may contain. The incidents related are true, while the adventures of the fugitives, in their escape from slavery, are actual facts related by persons well known to me, some of them closely related, and for whose veracity I can safely vouch. Many of the events of this tale will recall to the minds of not a few some of their own experiences, or the experience of relatives or friends as often rehearsed to them. I have no desire to create or revive any animosity on the part of those who have survived the cruelties of slavery, but as one of that race, now struggling for a position in the Nation which once refused to recognize their manhood, I trust I shall not be harshly censured for depicting a few of the milder forms of treatment to which the negro was subjected while enslaved.
