Henry Bibb (1815-1854) was born to an enslaved woman named Mildred
Jackson in Shelby County, Kentucky. His father was a state senator
who never acknowledged him. His narrative documents his persistent
attempts to escape to freedom, beginning at age ten, offering an
insider's view of the degradation and varieties of slavery as well
as its bitter legacies within families. Having finally settled in
Detroit in 1842, Bibb joined the abolitionist lecture circuit and
lived the rest of his days as a well-known African American
activist who believed that Canada might offer a haven for the
formerly enslaved. Bibb's autobiography, Narrative of the Life and
Adventures of Henry Bibb, An American Slave, was published in 1849.
Scholars have pointed out that Bibb's narrative has several
distinguishing features among the larger body of slave narratives.
Unusually, Bibb survived enslavement in the Deep South and later
described it, and his narrative offers documentation of African
folkways including conjuring and an account of Native American
slaveholding practices as well. Henry Bibb was above all resilient
and determined to achieve freedom for himself and others. Unwilling
to abandon those he loved, he risked recapture several times to
free them from enslavement, too. In the small span of his
thirty-nine years he would live to be reunited with three of his
brothers who had fled to Canada.
