William Wells Brown (1814-1884), African-American  abolitionist lecturer, novelist, and historian, was born into slavery in Kentucky and escaped to Cleveland in 1834. He  lectured in New York and Massachusetts and wrote a bestselling  Narrative (1847) before traveling to Paris and London  in 1849. He remained there five years, and Three Years in  Europe is an account of this period. It is the earliest African-American travelogue.
