Ellen & William Craft lived in Georgia but with different enslavers. In 1848 they escaped when Ellen disguised herself as a white man travelling with her husband posing as her servant. They worked 2 years in Boston until the Fugitive Slave Act forced them to seek safety abroad.

We need the public's help transcribing this historic treasure.
