Garland, Bennami S

Description

When Joshua Glover escaped from slavery in Missouri in the spring of 1852, his owner, Bennami Garland, placed this advertisement in the St. Louis Missouri Republican. Glover made his way secretly to Wisconsin via the underground railroad, where Garland pursued and ultimately arrested him almost two years later, in Racine. This image was made from a decades-old negative photostat, and is far below our usual standards. We thought, however, that the event was important enough to justify sharing whatever image we had, despite its poor quality.
