About this Item
Another important text that almost certainly found its way inside the Canterbury Female Academy. Its author, John Rankin, became one of the most fearless and successful conductors of self-liberated people fleeing enslavement, due to his location in Ohio just over the border from Kentucky. Rankin's Letters were admired by William Lloyd Garrison, and read by many Abolitionists in the 1830s.
