The Life of Josiah Henson

About The Book

Josiah Henson (June 15 1789 - May 5 1883) was an author abolitionist and minister. Born into slavery in Charles County Maryland he escaped to Upper Canada (now Ontario) in 1830 and founded a settlement and laborer's school for other fugitive slaves at Dawn near Dresden in Kent County. Henson's autobiography The Life of Josiah Henson Formerly a Slave Now an Inhabitant of Canada as Narrated by Himself (1849) is widely believed to have inspired the character of the fugitive slave George Harris in Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin (1852).
