1847: From Buffalo, NY to Boston,MA

It's been four years since I've last written here. I have been busy lecturing and working, as well as raising a family. I decided to move to Boston in order to pursue a career in writing. In fact, I have recently published my first major work, which I believe to be no small accomplishment for a man of my background.  It is called Narrative of William Wells Brown: A Fugitive Slave.  I hope this book furthers the abolitionist goals of my lectures, and reaches people I am unable to communicate with in person. To me, this is a logical transition from lecturer to author.  I hope this is the beginning of a long writing career, although I do hope that soon my subject will not have to be abolition.
