The character Uncle Tom, fr om Harriet Beecher Stowe's bestselling
novel, "Uncle Tom's Cabin," is based on the life of Josiah Henson
(1789-1882). Born in Maryland, Henson escaped and fled to Dresden,
Ontario, Canada in 1830. In 1841, a group of abolitionists,
including Henson, created a community/school for runaway slaves
called the British-American Institute for Fugitive Slaves. On the
200 acre parcel, Henson and his friends built a grist mill and a
saw mill. After emancipation, many of the former slaves returned to
the United States, though Henson remained in Canada until his death
in 1882.
