*NOTE TO THE READER: This is the LARGE PRINT edition of The Life and Sufferings of Leonard Black, a Fugitive from Slavery IT is my object to give to the reader a plain, simple narrative of the more interesting portion of my life, while in slavery. I was born in Annarundel County, State of Maryland, about sixty miles below Baltimore, and lived a slave more than twenty years. My old master was a physician, but I think it prudent to withhold his name. No one, who has always enjoyed the right of liberty, can realize the horrors of slavery. To be at the will of another, to be owned like a cow or horse, and liable at any moment to be sold to the highest bidder, to be transported to a distant part of the country, leaving the dearest relatives behind; to be, in fine, ground down mentally and physically by the untold curses of slavery, may be a very pretty thing to the masters of the peculiar institution, but it is death to the slaves. After more than twenty years of bondage, God delivered me from it, with a strong hand and an outstretched arm, as he did Israel of old.
