"[...]escape. A German blacksmith whom I knew well was on the train with me, and looked at me very intently, as if he thought he had seen me somewhere before in his travels. I really believe he knew me, but had no heart to betray me. At any rate, he saw me escaping and held his peace. The last point of imminent danger, and the one I dreaded most, was Wilmington. Here we left the train and took the steam-boat for Philadelphia. In making the change here I again apprehended arrest, but no one disturbed me, and I was soon on the broad and beautiful Delaware, speeding away to the Quaker City. On reaching Philadelphia in the afternoon, I inquired of a colored man how I could get on to New York. He directed me to the William-street depot, and thither I went, taking the train that night. I reached New York Tuesday morning, having completed the journey in less than twenty-four hours. My free life began on the third of September, 1838. On the morning of the fourth of that month, after an anxious and most perilous but safe journey, I found myself in the big city of New York, a FREE MAN—one more added to the mighty throng which, like the confused waves of the troubled sea, surged to and fro between the lofty walls of Broadway. Though dazzled with the wonders which met me on every hand, my thoughts could not be much withdrawn from my[...]".

About the Author Frederick Douglass (1818–1895) was an American social reformer, orator, writer and statesman. After escaping from slavery, he became a leader of the abolitionist movement, gaining note for his dazzling oratory and incisive antislavery writing. He stood as a living counter-example to slaveholders' arguments that slaves did not have the intellectual capacity to function as independent American citizens. Many Northerners also found it hard to believe that such a great orator had been a slave. Douglass wrote several autobiographies, eloquently describing his life as a slave, and his struggles to be free. His first autobiography, Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave, was published in 1845 and was his best-known work, influential in gaining support for abolition. He wrote two more autobiographies, with his last, Life and Times of Frederick Douglass, published in 1881 and covering events through and after the Civil War. After the Civil War, Douglass remained active in the United States' struggle to reach its potential as a "land of the free". Douglass actively supported women's suffrage. Following the war, he worked on behalf of equal rights for freedmen, and held multiple public offices. Douglass was a firm believer in the equality of all people, whether black, female, Native American, or recent immigrant. He was fond of saying, "I would unite with anybody to do right and with nobody to do wrong."

10 of 10 people found the following review helpful. So Impressed with the story! By Diane Walters I'm supposed to be doing research for my homework. I had chosen Frederick Douglass as one of my subjects. Since I purchased this eBook I decided to take a glance at it to see if I could find some advantage in it for my project. That was an hour ago! I can't stop reading this article of his escape from slavery. I had not expected it to be such a good read. He writes with such passion, distinction, forethought and care. This could rival any novel on the market today for excitement and suspense. It's just a wonderful story and so beautifully written. As soon as I get this paper completed I'm coming back to finish the story. I can't wait to see what happens next. . . .
8 of 8 people found the following review helpful. Frederick Douglass By Spook A good writer. Straightforward without the verbosity of so many 19th century writers. One sentence in particular stood out: "The thing worse than rebellion is the thing that causes rebellion." He was a rebel with a cause, and he overcame it with dignity. Firsthand history. Highly recommended.

Collected Articles of Frederick Douglass By Carolyn I had never read any of Mr Douglass' works and when I saw it offered as one of the free books, I downloaded it to my Kindle.Thank you, Amazon, for making this available to me. It is as if Mr Douglass were writing to the American Congress today in 2013!
