One dark and scary night. It was my birthday.My great grandma took me from my owner named Henry III. My great grandma said I am to young to be a slave. And I agreed. We gathered some blankets and some chicken biscuits. Are first stop was at a coffe shop. When we got there we saw some cops. When they saw us they let there dogs go. We ran fast like lions,then we saw a ditch and jumped into it. The dogs ran right pass us. Then we met Harriet Tubman. I felt a little sick on the journey. Ten days later we got to Canada. I felt great that i was free!
Justin - the first part of your letter is full of excellent details. I could picture you in the coffee shop when the cops showed up and let his dogs go after you! But can you give more details about Harriet Tubman? How did she help you escape to Canada?
