For most Of The years have lived, the escape
Of fugitves from slavery. and their efforts TO
battle the human and other boodhounds who
tracked them, formed the romance of American
History. That romance is now ended, aud our
grandchildren will hardly believe its leading
incidents except on irresistible testimony. /
rejoice that you are collecting and presenting
