Additional Details

Featuring 10 vignettes, all of them representing actual events, such as the famous Henry "Box" Brown incident in which the latter had himself literally shipped to freedom. A large piece such as this was no doubt meant to be put up at sympathetic bookshops and stationers. The entire series of 5 or 10 page tracts came to about 400 pages, and was available bound.
