: Salem & the Fugitive
Slave Era
Iowa Quakers, abolitionist activism, the Underground Railroad |
|
|
|
Note: This 1850 transcript of the Fugitive Slave Case here is an exciting and fascinating read. It reads like a movie screen-play and is complete with runaway slaves, slave-catchers, abolitionist Quakers, slave owners, frontier lawyers and small town frontier Iowa.
This is worth printing out and makes a good read before bedtime. It is a compelling story that now only awaits its movie version as a documentary.

(This map while useful for initially mapping the under ground rail road in Iowa is an incomplete record of fugitive slave era Quaker Meetings in Iowa.. Deleted are some of the conservative meetings following an 1860's separation of Friends in Iowa while also some of the older meetings were never part of the Ia.Yearly Meeting. See Louis T. Jones', Quakers of Iowa for a chronicling of the pioneer and fugitive slave era Quaker settlement in Iowa. Some meetings retained their affiliation back to Ohio Yearly Meeting or others. Hence this map of Iowa Yearly Meeting Friends Meetings is not the complete record of where there were Quaker Meetings in pioneer Iowa) It does give a good idea of the dispersal of Friends in Iowa near the time. |
