Condizione: Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Good. The Oberlin?Wellington Rescue of 1858 was a key event in the history of abolitionism in America. John Price, a Black man who had been enslaved on a farm in Mason County, Kentucky, fled to Oberlin, Ohio, in 1856 where he lived and worked for two years. On September 13, 1858, a group of men seized Price and took him nine miles south to the Wadsworth House hotel in Wellington, Ohio to begin the journey back to enslavement in Kentucky. By noon that day, news had reached Oberlin and inspired abolitionists to march south to secure Price's release. Six hundred citizens from Oberlin and Wellington surrounded the Wadsworth House. When it became clear that negotiations with the captors were not successful, the crowd sprang into action: three men rushed the door guards to begin a diversionary struggle in the hotel. Theology student Richard Winsor led Price out through a window to a buggy and rushed him back to Oberlin. Future Oberlin College President James Fairchild harbored Price in his home until Price's escape to Canada was secured.…

An account of escape, recapture, and rescue of a 'fugitive slave,' and subsequent indictment of the rescuers. From Sabin: "An extraordinary case, under the Fugitive Slave Act. Wellington is located thirty-six miles southwest of Cleveland; Oberlin is nine miles north of Wellington. In January, 1856, a negro slave, called John, was missing from a plantation in Mason county, Kentucky. In August, 1856, a friend of the owner recognized John at Oberlin, and with the aid of friends from Kentucky arrested him with the intention of taking him back. They took him to Wellington, where he was rescued by a large body of persons from Oberlin and Wellington---hence the title. Thirty-seven of the rescuers were indicted by the State, and confined for many months in the Cleveland jail, while the trial progressed. They were finally acquitted and great was the rejoicing. The account of the affair is contained in 280 double column, solidly printed pages."---THOMSON'S Bibliography of Ohio.…
