Escape Route: The Rivers of Freedom


This is the route I took to gain my freedom. From Cairo, Illinois, I took the Ohio River north. It was a long, difficult journey.  Now my goal is to find a job.  To live free, I must find a way to earn a living. Hopefully, in the process, I'm able to help the abolition movement. I plan on making it to Cleveland, Ohio. I hear there's work there - on a steamboat, perhaps.
