Narrative of the Life and Adventures of Henry Bibb, an American Slave, Written by Himself

INTRODUCTION
18/28

Myself and some others went there and took him, and took him to Louisville for sale, by the directions of his master.

While there he made his escape and was gone some time, I think about one year or longer.

He came back it was said, to get his wife and child, so report says.

He was again taken by his owner; he together with his wife and child was taken to Louisville and sold to a man who traded in negroes, and was taken by him to New Orleans and sold with his wife and child to some man up Red River, so I was informed by the man who sold him.

He then ran off and left his wife and child and got back, it seems, to your country.
I can say for Gatewood he was a good master, and treated him well.
