Read this excerpt from "My Escape from Slavery."
In order to avoid this fatal scrutiny on the part of railroad officials, I arranged with Isaac Rolls, a Baltimore
hackman, to bring my baggage to the Philadelphia train just on the moment of starting, and jumped upon the
car myself when the train was in motion. Had I gone into the station and offered to purchase a ticket, I should
have been instantly and carefully examined, and undoubtedly arrested. In choosing this plan I considered the
jostle of the train, and the natural haste of the conductor, in a train crowded with passengers, and relied upon
my skill and address in playing the sailor, as described in my protection, to do the rest.
