- Tomorrow is Easter the day I escape, I have been planning this for months and with the help of Harriet it will finally happen. The family will be so busy tonight planning that no one will notice.
- June 3rd, 1834 Ohio
- Leaving that night it was cold and wet, I had not choice but to go barefoot or someone would hear me walking out down the path, but I didn't care as long as I was free all of this would be worth it.
- I was walking all night following the north star knowing that once I found that log house I could finally rest. The sun was starting to rise and I could here horses riding quickly towards me. I had to find a place to hide and quick.
- After finding shelter and a long day of hiding and walking I had finally made it to the Ohio River and Harriet. Harriet had promised me safe passage to Canada so I could be a free man. Once inside I was greeted by two white men.
- Station
- Hello we are Isaac Hopper and John Brown. We would like to help you cross the river and become a free man as we have done with others like yourself.
- At first hesitant because I didn't have good luck with white men, Harriet assured me that I could trust them and they have helped free hundreds of other slaves. So we left a few nights later to sail across the Ohio River to find shelter in Canada.
- And for the little time I wasn't lying under a quilt hiding trying to cross the Ohio River to freedom, I was able to sit on the boat and listen to the crickets chirp, the leaves blow, and my peace roar and at that moment I closed my eyes and said....
- June 10th, 1834
- I am finally a free man.
