Art Praxis Bios By Name By Date By Location ... Bios Ellen Craft c.1826 - c.1897 "So I write these few lines merely to say that the statement is entirely unfounded, for I have never had the slightest inclination whatever of returning to bondage; and God forbid that I should ever be so false to liberty as to prefer slavery in its stead. In fact, since my escape from slavery, I have gotten much better in every respect than I could have possibly anticipated. Though, had it been to the contrary, my feelings in regard to this would have been just the same, for I had much rather starve in England, a free woman, than be a slave for the best man that ever breathed upon the American continent." - Anti-Slavery Advocate, December 1852 Jump to: Biography and Criticism Selected Bibliography Related Links Biography / Criticism Many an audience became fascinated with the remarkable story of Ellen Craft as she and her husband William toured the abolitionist lecture circuit in the mid-nineteenth century. Although stories of escape told by former slaves were not uncommon to abolitionist audiences, Ellen's story proved especially intriguing since she courageously passed as both white and male in order to get herself and William to freedom in the North. Ellen Craft was born around 1826 in Clinton, Georgia. Her mother was a slave and her father was her mother's owner. As William tells in the published account of their escape, Running a Thousand Miles for Freedom, Ellen was so white that she was often mistaken as one of her master's family. This angered her mistress so much that she gave the eleven-year old Ellen as a wedding gift to one of her daughters.
