LIST OF IMPORTANT FUGITIVE SLAVE CASES
The following list is not intended to be exhaustive: it by no means includes all the cases illustrative of the work of the Underground Road, but it represents fairly well the various phases of that work, and does not intentionally omit any of the famous cases. Less than one half of the list here given will be found in Mrs. McDougall's Fugitive Slaves, Appendix D, pp. 124-128.
1. Early escape to Canada.
1748. Negro servant escapes from the English to Canada: New York Colonial Manuscripts, X, 209.
