first edition, A late narrative, but more important, a genuine one. All too often narratives were tainted by the missionary zeal of those who took them down from the slave's lips. Bruner was for many years the janitor of Miami, Ohio University. Born in Clark County, Kentucky in 1845, Bruner bore the name of his owner, John Bell Bruner who was in all likelihood his father as well.
