Dedication

To CapraIn JoHN Browy, Senior, of Kansas:

To you, Old Hero, I dedicate this record of my Talks with the Slaves in the Southern States.

To you is due our homage for first showing how, and how alone, the gigantic crime of our age and nation can be effectually blotted out from our soil forever. You have proven that the slaver has a soul as cowardly as his own ‘domestic institution ;’ you have shown how contemptible he is as a foe before the rifle of the earnest freeman. With your sword of the Lord and of Gideon you met him face to face ; with a few ill-clad and ill-armed footmen, you routed his well-mounted and well-armed hosts.
