Unsung Heroes (1921). FREDERICK DOUGLASS THE ORATOR AND
ABOLITIONIST 1817-1895: "TUCKAHOE is the name of a plantation on
the eastern shore of Maryland. It was once known for its worn-out,
flat, sandy soil; for its old, poorly-kept fields and fences, and
for its stupid and ignorant people. On one side of this plantation
flowed a lazy, muddy river, bringing with it, as some believed,
ague and fever. At some distance from the river bank stood rows of
log cabins suggestive of a quaint village whose only streets are
the trodden footpaths and whose only street lights are the moon and
the stars. The cabins all looked very much alike except one which
stood off to itself. Each one of these cabins had a door but no
window, a dirt floor, a fence-rail loft for a bed, and a ladder by
which to reach it. And each had a clay chimney with a broad open
fireplace and just a block of wood at the door for steps. In this
little log-cabin village, called "the quarters" lived the slaves."
