Two articles written by Frederick Douglass after his escape from slavery about his escape.
ave-catchers generally awaited their prey, for it was not in the interior of the State, but on its borders, that these human hounds were most vigilant and active. The border lines between slavery and freedom were the dangerous ones for the fugitives. The heart of no fox or deer, with hungry hounds on his trail in full chase, could have beaten more anxiously or noisily than did mine from the time I left Baltimore till I reached Philadelphia. The passage of the Susquehanna River at Havre de Grace was at that time made by ferry-boat, on board of which I met a young colored man by the name of Nichols, who came very near betraying me. He was a "hand" on the boat, but, instead of minding his business, he insisted upon knowing me, and asking me dangerous questions as to where I was going, when I was coming back, etc. I got away from my old and inconvenient acquaintance as soon as I could decently do so, and went to another part of the boat. Once across the river, I encountered a new danger. Only a few days before, I had been at work on a revenue cutter, in Mr. Price's ship-yard in Baltimore, under the care of Captain McGowan. On the meeting at this point of the two trains, the one going south stopped on the track just opposite to the one going north, and it so happened that this Captain McGowan sat at a window where he could see me very distinctly, and would certainly have recognized me had he looked at me but for a second. Fortunately, in the hurry of the moment, he did not see me; and the trains soon passed each other on their respective ways. But this was not my only hair-breadth escape.

I really believe he knew me, but had no heart to betray me. At any rate, he saw me escaping and held his peace.

The last point of imminent danger, and the one I dreaded most, w

Kind of reviewing the title rather than the content. The content was excellent just not enough of it. Usually a collection has more than 2 items in it. There are literally just 2 articles. I should have been more aware that there weren't very many pages so it is my own fault but it just isn't what I

I was surprised to note there were only two articles in this collection. However, both were an enlightening read. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a primer about a dark period of America's history. One that is still going on in some shape and form mostly because of idiotic political lea

The title is a bit misleading as it only contains two articles. If you've never read anything on Frederick Douglass, then I think it's a good place to start due to its brevity (the first article, not so much the second).

If by "collected articles" you mean 2 articles. The first one is the story about how Douglas escaped from slavery. It is pretty eye opening if youve never read such a narrative before. Really shows you how brutal their situation is, and how ridiculously powerful and authoritarian the state was, for
