The Life of Josiah Henson

Formerly a Slave

More about the book

The autobiography chronicles the life of Josiah Henson, an escaped slave who became a prominent abolitionist and minister. After fleeing to Upper Canada in 1830, he established a settlement and a school for fellow fugitive slaves. His experiences and resilience in the face of adversity not only shaped his own life but also influenced literature, notably inspiring the character George Harris in Harriet Beecher Stowe's "Uncle Tom's Cabin." Through personal narratives, Henson sheds light on the struggles and triumphs of enslaved individuals seeking freedom.
