<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Three years before Harriet Beecher Stowe interviewed Josiah Henson and wrote Uncle Tom's Cabin, Henson published his life story as a powerful autobiography. This 1849 Narrative, by the real Uncle Tom, reveals Henson tremendous intelligence, a gift that enabled him to chronicle and analyze the roles being played by both masters and slaves.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>The character Uncle Tom, fr om Harriet Beecher Stowe's bestselling novel, ""Uncle Tom's Cabin,"" is based on the life of Josiah Henson (1789-1882). Born in Maryland, Henson escaped and fled to Dresden, Ontario, Canada in 1830. In 1841, a group of abolitionists, including Henson, created a community/school for runaway slaves called the British-American Institute for Fugitive Slaves. On the 200 acre parcel, Henson and his friends built a grist mill and a saw mill. After emancipation, many of the former slaves returned to the United States, though Henson remained in Canada until his death in 1882.
