Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
Josiah Henson (June 15, 1789 - May 5, 1883) was an author,
abolitionist, and minister. Born into slavery in Charles County,
Maryland, he escaped to Upper Canada (now Ontario) in 1830, and
founded a settlement and laborer's school for other fugitive slaves
at Dawn, near Dresden in Kent County. Henson's autobiography, The
Life of Josiah Henson, Formerly a Slave, Now an Inhabitant of
Canada, as Narrated by Himself (1849), is widely believed to have
inspired the character of the fugitive slave, George Harris, in
Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin (1852).
