The Rev. J. W. Loguen, as a Slave and as a Freeman
The Rev. Jermain Wesley Loguen was a pioneering figure in early nineteenth-century abolitionism and African American literature. A highly respected leader in the AME Zion Church, Rev.

The Rev. J.W. Loguen, as a Slave and as a Freeman
This volume contains the biography of Rev. Jermain Wesley Loguen from his infancy and childhood, to his time spent in a Southern prison, through the wilderness and Canada, and back to the United States again, where he fought to end slavery.
To Set the Captives Free
Reverend Jermain Wesley Loguen was one of the most fervent and dedicated abolitionists of his day. An ex-slave, he brazenly printed in Syracuse newspapers his address and invitations to other runaways seeking freedom. He became infamous for his leadership in the "Jerry rescue"- one of the very few successful fugitive slave rescues in the country. During his lifetime he was hailed as the "Underground Railroad King" and worked closely with Frederick Douglass, Henry Highland Garnet, Gerrit Smith, Samuel May, and other leading figures in the abolitionist movement. He was ordained in the AME Zion Church and utilized his many church connections to help fugitives and assist the self -emancipated in finding jobs and making the transition to freedom. In 2011 Reverend Jermain Loguen was one of the early inductees into the National Abolition Hall of Fame. This book is the story of this unsung hero, revealing his passionate lifelong stance for freedom, human rights and equality, his dagger-sharp oratory as preacher and writer, and his internal turmoils as someone who, in his own words, would have preferred to have been "a still quiet man, but oppression has made me mad."
