Notes:
"The author, thinking an account of his life and experience would be of service to persons into whose hands it might fall, has ... come to the conclusion to narrate ... things that he encountered and that came under his notice during the period of some forty-five years. ..."--Preface, p. [3]. Signed: John Thomas Evans, (formerly), now James Williams.
Copyright 1873 by James Williams.
Besides the account of his own life and travels, Williams includes the stories of other fugitive slaves and his own observations and thoughts on such subjects as the Catholic and Protestant Churches, spiritualism, bigamy, the Modoc War, and the Chinese in California.
