The Rev. Jermain Wesley Loguen was a pioneering figure in early
nineteenthcentury abolitionism and African American literature. A
highly respected leader in the AME Zion Church, Rev. Loguen was
popularly known as the ""Underground Railroad King"" in Syracuse,
where he helped over 1,500 fugitives escape from slavery. With a
charismatic and often controversial style, Loguen lectured
alongside Frederick Douglass and worked closely with well-known
abolitionists such as Harriet Tubman, William Wells Brown, and
William Lloyd Garrison, among others. Originally published in 1859,
The Rev. J. W. Loguen chronicles the remarkable life of a tireless
young man and a passionate activist. The narrative recounts
Loguen's early life in slavery, his escape to the North, and his
successful career as a minister and abolitionist in New York and
Canada. Given the text's third-person narration and novelistic
style, scholars have long debated its authorship. In this edition,
Williamson uncovers new research to support Loguen as the author,
providing essential biographical information and buttressing the
significance of his life and writing. The Rev. J. W. Loguen
represents a fascinating literary hybrid, an experiment in voice
and style that enlarges our understanding of the slave narrative.
