| Full Narrative | ETNA was about twenty years of age, of a " ginger-bread " color, modest in demeanor, and appeared to have a natural capacity for learning. She was also from under the Duvall yoke. In setting forth her reasons for escaping she asserted that she was tired of slavery and an unbeliever in the doctrine that God made colored people simply to be slaves for white people ; besides, she had a strong desire to " see her friends in Canada." |
