Lewis George Clarke published the story of his life as a slave in
1845, after he had escaped from Kentucky and become a well-regarded
abolitionist lecturer throughout the North. His book was the first
work by a slave to be acquired by the Library of Congress and
copyrighted. During the 1840s he lived in the Cambridge,
Massachusetts, home of Aaron and Mary Safford, where he encountered
Mary's stepsister, Harriet Beecher Stowe, along with Frederick
Douglass, Lewis Tappan, Gerrit Smith, Josiah Henson, John Brown,
Lydia Child, and Martin Delaney. His experiences are evident in
Uncle Tom's Cabin, published in 1852, and Stowe identified him as

This facsimile edition of Clarke's book is introduced by his great
grandson, Carver Clark Gayton, who has served as director of
Affirmative Action Programs at the University of Washington;
corporate director of educational relations and training for the
Boeing Company; lecturer at the Evans School of Public
Administration, University of Washington; and executive director of
the Northwest African American Museum. He lives in Seattle. A V
