翻訳と辞書　辞書検索 [ 開発暫定版 ] スポンサード リンク Henry Box Brown ： ウィキペディア英語版 Henry Box Brown Henry "Box" Brown (1816–after 1889) was a 19th-century Virginia slave who escaped to freedom at the age of 33 by arranging to have himself mailed in a wooden crate in 1849 to abolitionists in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in search for his wife and children. For a short time Brown became a noted abolitionist speaker in the northeast United States. He lost the support of the abolitionist community, notably Frederick Douglass, who wished Brown had kept quiet about the details of his escape so that others could have used similar means. As a public figure and fugitive slave, Brown felt endangered by passage of the Fugitive Slave Law of 1850, which increased pressure to capture escaped slaves. He moved to England and lived there for 25 years, touring with an anti-slavery panorama and becoming a mesmerist and showman. Mostly forgotten in the United States, he married an English woman and had a second family with her. He returned to the US with them in 1875 and continued to earn a living as an entertainer. His date of his death is unknown. ==Childhood and slavery== Henry Brown was born into slavery in 1816 in Louisa County, Virginia. At the age of 15 he was sent to work in a tobacco factory in Richmond. In his autobiography, ''Narrative of the Life of Henry Box Brown, Written by Himself'', he describes his owner: "Our master was uncommonly kind, (for even a slaveholder may be kind) and as he moved about in his dignity he seemed like a god to us, but notwithstanding his kindness although he knew very well what superstitious notions we formed him, he never made the least attempt to correct our erroneous impression, but rather seemed pleased with the reverential feelings which we entertained towards him."〔(''Narrative of the Life of Henry Box Brown, Written by Himself'' ), p. 5, text online at ''Documenting the American South'', University of North Carolina.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Henry Box Brown」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
