John Thompson was born in1812 into a life of slavery on a Maryland plantation. First published in 1856, "The Life of John Thompson, a Fugitive Slave" details his enslavement, his escape, and his life up North, where he lived as a freeman until fear of recapture caused him to flee once again-this time to sea aboard the Milwood, a whaling ship. The only fugitive slave narrator to report a whaling voyage, Thompson crafted from his whaling experience an allegorical sermon that caps his Life and relates it as a kind of African American Pilgrim’s Progress, as well as a chronicle of struggle with, escape from, and victory over American slavery.This book originally published in 1856 has been reformatted for the Kindle and may contain an occasional imperfection from the original publication or from the reformatting.
