=1. Sources of information.=

There are many sources from which material for a study of fugitive slaves may be gathered. Almost any work upon the slavery question touches sooner or later upon this topic, and the difficulties arise rather from the amount of the literature which must be examined than from lack of information. No formal bibliography of the subject, or of any phase of it, has been found; it has therefore been necessary to go through a large body of material, and to sift out references which bear upon the subject.

=2. Libraries.=

The labor has been much facilitated by the completeness and convenient arrangement of the literature bearing upon slavery in the libraries of Cambridge and Boston. The Harvard College Library possesses two unique collections of slavery pamphlets, one the bequest of Charles Sumner, the other the gift of Colonel T. W. Higginson; and the Card Catalogue of the Library is a comprehensive guide to a large alcove of other books. The great collections of the Boston Public Library have also been made accessible by the full Card Catalogue of that Library. The Boston Athenaeum has also furnished valuable material; and in the Massachusetts State Library is an excellent set of State Statutes, which has been freely used. I have not been able to consult the antislavery collection of the Cornell Library at Ithaca.

=3. Secondary works.=

The material upon fugitive slaves, as upon any topic, may be divided into two classes, secondary and original. The general and local histories which come under the first class have been of good service as guides to further investigation. _The Rise and Fall of the Slave Power in America_, by _Henry Wilson_, takes up the whole question of slavery in a thorough manner, and devotes special attention to the debates in Congress. Though long and ill-arranged, it is comprehensive and trustworthy. Unfortunately, the work is not provided with foot-notes. _Williams's History of the Negro Race_, and _Greeley's American Conflict_, are other surveys of the whole subject. For a discussion of political forces and constitutional questions, _Von Holst_ is the best authority, while _Hurd_, besides enumerating the statutes from colonial times down, considers the subject with great clearness from a judicial point of view, describes many cases, and in foot-notes gives references to others.

Studies of colonial slavery are found in _Lodge's English Colonies in America_ and _Doyle's English in America_. Several special essays have been printed on slavery in Massachusetts; _Deane's_ and _Moore's Notes on Slavery_, and _Washburn's Extinction of Slavery in Massachusetts_. Little attention is in any of these works given to fugitive slaves.

To another class belong books descriptive of the institution of slavery. _Mrs. Frances Kemble_ wrote about life on a Southern plantation before the war, and the _Cotton Kingdom_ and other volumes by _Frederick Law Olmsted_ give many interesting details, and furnished me with much material for the chapter on Fugitives and their Friends.

=4. Biographies.=

Biographies of antislavery men are likely to contain information on fugitive slave cases. The _Life of Isaac T. Hopper_ is full of accounts of his ways of aiding flight, and for the same reason the _Life of Gerrit Smith_ is exceedingly interesting. Birney's _Life of James G. Birney_ deals little with fugitives. The biographies of Mrs. Lydia Maria Child, Arthur and Lewis Tappan, John Brown, Garrison, Phillips, and the Grimke sisters, may also be mentioned. Others, like those of Jonathan Walker, L. W. Paine, Daniel Drayton, captain of the schooner Pearl, W. L. Chaplin, Work, Burr, and Thompson, and the recently published _Life of Rev. Calvin Colman_, relate simply the stories of trials and imprisonments for aiding fugitives, and are often more in the nature of original than secondary sources.

=5. Original sources.=

Very early in the preparation of this work it became evident that no writer had systematically examined and compared the legislation of the Colonies and States, or searched the records of Congress, or looked for contemporary accounts of any considerable number of escapes. I was therefore obliged to search for such original material as was within my reach. Doubtless some important books and pamphlets have escaped me, and an examination of other collections would enlarge the bibliography; but the effort has been made to exhaust the literature of the subject, except in newspapers.

=6. Slave autobiographies.=

Out of the great variety of original sources containing descriptions of slave life and escapes, the autobiographies of the slaves themselves are the most interesting, and often the saddest. The Rev. James Freeman Clarke says, in his Antislavery Days: "Even now, when it is all over, the flesh creeps and the blood curdles in the veins at the accounts of the dreadful cruelties practised on slaves in many parts of the South. I would advise no one to read such histories to-day unless his nerves are very well strung." _Frederick Douglass_ has given us two books, one written before slavery was abolished, and a fuller account afterward, when it was no longer imprudent to reveal the whole story of his escape. Many of these lives were published by antislavery people, who wished by such means to rouse the North. Such are the stories of _Box Brown_, _Peter Still_, _Archy Moore_, _Solomon Northrup_, _Lunsford Lane_, and others, most of which have been quoted above.

=7. Records of trials.=

Much descriptive detail can often be found in the published reports of trials. A volume is devoted to the Oberlin-Wellington case, and several volumes have been published on the Burns trial. For the Prigg and Hanway cases, and others of importance, the records of the Supreme Court and lower courts have been consulted. Most of the important cases were tried in State courts or before commissioners, and the only reports are fugitive pamphlets, of which many have been consulted and cited.

=8. Speeches.=

In the study of public sentiment and for the weighing of argument the speeches of _Phillips_, _Sumner_, _Seward_, _Giddings_, _Webster_, _Mann_, _Rantoul_, _Loring_, and others, are of the greatest value. They often throw light upon obscure cases, and the fugitive slave stories brought in as illustrations have sometimes led to the discovery of interesting and forgotten cases.

=9. Reminiscences.=

A valuable aid in reconstructing in the mind the conditions of the slavery struggle are the reminiscences of participants. _Rev. James Freeman Clarke's Antislavery Days_ and _Mr. Parker Pillsbury's_ book have been helpful in these chapters. A pamphlet by _Mr. Austin Bearse_ describes the Fugitive Slave Laws in Boston, and relates the work of the Vigilance Committee in protecting escaped negroes. The books of _Still_, _Smedley_, and _Coffin_, on the workings of the Underground Railroad, are composed chiefly of reminiscences, and have furnished many essential facts.

=10. Reports of societies.=

The reports of the various antislavery societies, especially of those of Massachusetts and Pennsylvania, have also been examined with profit as to the work among the refugees in Canada, etc. For the colonial period the publications of the Massachusetts and New York Historical Societies are exceedingly important, and have been freely drawn upon.

=11. Periodicals and newspapers.=

Not much has been gathered from periodicals. _Poole's Index_ was used and occasionally something of importance was discovered. Thus _The Freedman's Story_ in the _Atlantic Monthly_ has furnished one of the most striking of the stories about resistance to escapes. Such articles are few, and occur long after the slavery period, when such disclosures were no longer unpopular. _The Magazine of American History_ contains Several articles. Among newspapers, the _Liberator_ is without doubt the most complete record of the extreme antislavery sentiment toward the fugitive slave laws and their workings. Each case as it occurs is fully commented upon, and in addition there is each week a column or two of atrocities, and among them stories of fugitives are often given. The Harvard College Library contains a complete file, which I have examined; and references to the Liberator are therefore frequent throughout the work. The colonial newspapers are of little value, except for the conclusions which may be drawn from the advertisements for runaways. Newspapers of that time were so limited in scope, that an affair so unimportant to them as a fugitive slave case would scarcely appear.

=12. Materials bearing on legislation.=

The materials for the study of colonial legislation must be gathered from many sources. The best collection of them in Boston may be found at the State Library. In some colonies there are carefully edited series of volumes chronologically arranged, but in others the records have been but irregularly printed. The laws of New Netherlands and of early New York are easily accessible in well printed volumes of a recent date. For the Southern States, the Hening edition of the Virginia Statutes at Large is clear, and covers a long period. There is also the Cooper collection for South Carolina, Bacon's series for Maryland, Iredell's edition of South Carolina Statutes, and Leaming and Spicer for New Jersey. There are of course many others, but these comprise the most important.

From the beginning of the Constitutional period, the proceedings of Congress may be followed as minutely as desired. An outline of the proceedings is given in the Journals of the Senate and House, while for a fuller account and reports of speeches the Annals of Congress and Congressional Debates to 1837, and the Congressional Globes from 1833 to 1863, furnish ample material. Information in regard to the number and personnel of the House is most readily gathered from Poore's Congressional Directory.
