Reminiscences of Fugitive-Slave Law Days in Boston is a book written by Austin Bearse in 1880. The book is a memoir of the author's experiences during the period when the Fugitive Slave Law was enforced in Boston, Massachusetts. This law was enacted in 1850 and required the return of runaway slaves to their masters. The book describes the events that took place during this time, including the arrest and trial of fugitive slaves, the protests and riots that followed, and the efforts of abolitionists to resist the law. The author also provides a personal account of his involvement in the anti-slavery movement and his interactions with other activists. The book offers a unique perspective on a significant period in American history and sheds light on the struggles and triumphs of those who fought against slavery.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
