eBook
( Dec. 23, 2015)
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.
