Dear Dirty Joe
My journey on the under ground rail road was cold and rainy but I made it through. Do you know if the under ground rail road is really a rail road underground? Well if you don't know it's not. It is only what the slaves called it. I ran away because I just got a beating from my masters wife a lady named Ms. Emmert. I ran away from Florida to Canada.A woman named Fredda Ham helped me on the way. I almost died because I got sick with the flu when I was on the way to freedom. But now that I am free I will find a place to live...
Sincerely,Terion
Hi Terion -
I enjoyed reading your letter. How did you feel on your journey? Were you scared or happy? Why did the slaves call it an underground railroad if it wasn't really a railroad? Was it really under ground?
