O knihe
This work is the third volume of colonial New England runaways, as identified in contemporary newspaper ads. The majority of individuals are runaway servants and slaves, but a number are runaway apprentices, both men and women, military deserters, and criminals. This compilation lists all individuals mentioned in the ads. If an individual is listed with more than one name, all the names appear in the index. While many of the African Americans and some Indians are listed as slaves, many are not, so they may have been paid servants. In compiling this work, the author examined 28 newspapers from New England to Maryland, including The Boston News-Letter, The Boston Post-Boy, The Boston Gazette, The Connecticut Courant, The Massachusetts Spy, The New Hampshire Gazette, The Pennsylvania Gazette, The New York Gazette, and The Maryland Gazette. Each ad gives a number of details about the runaway and his/her master, including names and aliases, physical description, personality quirks if any, location in New England (including the future states of Vermont and Maine), and where to contact the advertiser.
