The first real information of Andrew Jackson, the runaway slave, Samuel
Ott. imparts to this generation. In the winter of 1858 a mulatto, about 28
years of age, came to the home of Lyman Wiimot, the Abolitionist, at
night, via the "Underground Railway," from Mississippi. The lake was
frozen, so the black man could not be sent across to Canada, therefore he
had been taken to Deerfield. Mr. Wiimot brought the stave to the Lorenz
Ott home to do the chores, so that the children could go to school.
Andrew Jackson's father was a white man, and he worked on his
father’s plantation where he saw liis white sisters. The plantation owner
was more lenient to his son than to his other slaves, arid Andrew learned
more than his companions, therefore the desire to be free so overcame the
bd that it led him to attempt to escape but bloodhounds tracked him, and
he was brought back. In his second attempt at freedom he was successful,
and he crossed the Ohio River, where he was sent on fits journey north.
The man was a good worker, kept the horses clean (he had been a
yardman on the plantation) and "made a nice gate of stout wood" which
he said would last till the slaves were freed. When that occurred he
requested Mr. Ott to destroy the gate, which sentimental request was not
heeded by the thrifty fanner. After reaching the slaves' haven, Andrew
wrote to his benefactors who had taught him to read and write, of his
safe arrival, and that was the last that they ever heard of him. Samuel Ott
was fourteen years of age at that time, and he recalls much that the
Negro did while here.
From another source it is learned that die slave, Andrew Jackson's
escape was planned because he had been sold. "My kind master found it
necessary to sell me. None of the slaves were given any education as our
masters thought that we would rebel or outwit them. But a friend told
me tliat the sun rises in the east and sets in the west and that as one goes
further south it gets warmer, and going north it gets colder. With this
information only, l decided to run away. I was soon captured for my
master had discovered my absence soon after 1 left, and had sent blood
hounds after me. When taking me back to the plantation my captor tied
my arms with a rope, which was fastened to the horse, and made me
walk in front of him, while he rode. I loosened the rope and walked
along as if I were not trying to escape. Soon 1 noticed that mv master was
sleeping, so J dropped the rope, and jumped into the woods. Most of the
time I hid during the day, and often pursuers were so close to my hiding
place tiiat I could hear my master giving directions to them.

"Several times I was without food for a number of days. Many times
I ate raw com taken from a field when I passed through it. One time I fell
in a barrel when I was looking for food, and even thought I hurt my hip
severely, I managed to limp back into the woods. One day 1 came to a
hut and asked a girl, who was alone, for some bread, which I could see
was freshly baked. The child refused to give it to me so 1 grabbed a few
loaves and ran, and when safely hidden, ate them. These are but a few of
my hardships, but I am glad to be with friends now. "A group of
Abolitionists lived in Highland Park, and would often come to Deerfield
if they knew that the farmers were bringing their crops to town. Often
many hot debates took place on what is now known as Autes' comer.
Slaves were also seen in Deerfield, but it is not known in which direction
they went. (Source: Marie Ward Reichelt for Deerfield Post 738, American
Legion H33. 081 Glermew Press, August 1928, p. 107-8.)
DEERFIELD
In 1860 a runaway slave, called "Andrew Jackson," came through
Deerfield, where he stayed with Mr. Lorenz Ott, who lived where Mr.
Orman Rockenhach now lives. Later he lived with Mr. Lyman Wiimot
until the Civil War was over. He had many hardships to endure while he
was with cruel masters, but later he was taught to read and write, and in
return he showed the white people how to tie com with a stalk of corn
and many other methods of farming. This is one incident of the anti
slavery activities. (Source: Marie Ward Reichelt for Deerfield Post 738.
American I.egion #33, 081 Glenview Press, August 1928, p. 83.)

Garrison and McKim especially faced the problem of slavery head-on in
the manner of New England Puritan preachers of old, something the
more moderate Lake Forest founders—concerned at the prospect of dis
ruptive social upheaval—tended to avoid. Indeed, the Lake Foresters'
moderate position on slavery against it in Cite western territories where
they wanted to expand Chicago business interests, but willing to wait for
it to die out in the south may have contributed to their seeking such an
enclosed, maze-like street plan with entry to the town confined for all
practical purposes to the streets around the depot. Several dues suggest
that African-Americans and perhaps fugitive slaves were on hand here in
the late 1850s and early 1860s—before Emancipation. Covertly too.
Sylvester Lind and the Lake Forest founders took risks—Danforth reports
Lind himself traveled down the lakes with Underground Railroad "pas
sengers” to cue them when, literally, the "the coast was clear" -and
worked hard, short of John Brown- like revolutionary acts, to gain free
dom for African-Americans and to work toward the election of Lincoln
in 1660.

SYLVESTER LIND, THE NORTON'S GRANDFATHER,
AND THE ANTISLAVERY MOVEMENT
John J Halsey's 1912 History of 1-ake County, Illinois provides a biogra
phical sketch of Sylvester Lind, a censor figure in the founding of lake
forest. Lind was bom in Scotland in 1808, arriving in Chicago in 1837 tc
work as a carpenter, in 1842 he entered the lumber business and in 1S4S
organized the Lind & Dunlap firm with mills at Cedar River, Michigan on
the western shore directly west of Door County's Washington Island.
Arpee reports that he was also in the banking and insurance businesses
making and losing at least three fortunes as the economic health of earl)
Chicago came and went. Before the railroad wen! through, his banking
business in Milwaukee and Chicago led him up and down the old Greer
Bay Trail by Lake Forest.
An article on "The Under-Ground Railway" in the May 1890 Stentor
the College newspaper (pp. 165-88), highlighted Lind's importance tr
the anti-slavery movement of the days when Lake Forest was founded
The article was written by an enterprising member of the class of 1891
William E. Danforth, who also conducted interviews with explorers
George Konnan and Sir Henry Stanley who visited the town and a bed
side February 1890 interview with the legendary ex-slave and local driver
Samuel Dent, who died in June of 1890, and is buried in the Lake Forest
Cemetery'. Lind was an active "conductor” on the Underground Railroad
and a leader in the Chicago movement, with his Chicago river lumber
yard there a staging point for smuggling fugitive slaves down the lakes.
The Fugitive Slave Act was harsh, and a captain risked losing his ship iJ
caught. Danforth s article, though, details how Ltnd and others would
arrange for the captain to look the other way for "deniabilitv" while ex
slaves scrambled on board and stowed away. They then jumped off at
the Island-refueling stop at Death's Door between
the Door County mainland and the Washington
Island to wait for another ship heading for
Detroit. This ship, in turn, would drift dose
enough to the Ontario shore in the narrow St.
Clair River to permit the African-Americans to
leap to freedom. Lind's concern for the plight of
the African-Americans, some of whom probably
were present in I ake Forest before the Civil War,
was shared by others in town and carried over
into the close, warm ties between the races
fhoco rcorresv ct
through the rest of the nineteenth century.

What is the Underground Railroad?
* library
Before 1863, the Underground Railroad was a system of cooperation among African American slaves, free Blacks, abolitionists,
sympaUietic Whites, and Native Americans to help slaves escape Uieir bonds and claim the promise of freedom. According to a
recent study by the National Park Service, "...Uiis informal system arose as a loosely constructed network of escape routes Uiat
originated in the South, intertwined throughout the North, but also extended into western territories, Mexico, and the Caribbean."
* your papers
How many people escaped on the Underground Railroad?
« history links
It is estimated that as many as 100,000 ofUie 4 million enslaved escaped Uirough the Underground Railroad.
* local stories
Did people use quilts to help slaves escape?
* family stories
This topic has really taken off since the 1999 publication of Hidden in Plain View: A Secret Story ofQuilts and the
Underground Railroad, written by Jacqueline Tobin and Raymond Dobard (Doublcday, NY, NY). The bibliography in Uiat
book is a good starting place for your research We should also warn you, however, that the book has been greeted with a certain
amount of skepticism in the scholarly community. It may be Uiat as additional new data accrues (Uirough research such as your
own), that skeptiesm will subside.
* artifacts
IIow do I find out if my family was involved in the Underground Railroad?
The first Uiing you should do is start asking everyone who knows Uic story to tell it to you again in Uieir own words and to tell
you where Uiey heard it. Write it down or record it on tape. The object here is to define the community of living informants and to
map out their sources. Ix>ok for the similarities in Uic stories and examine the inconsistencies. If you know the names of Uie
operators of the station, Uiat is wonderful because you can then start a search in Uie newspapers to corroborate your family's
memories. Another good source is the church records from Uie denomination where your ancestors worshiped — often
abolitionists were fervent churchgoers. We also cncougage you to contact other researchers doing work in your part of the state.
If you ever get to Washington, DC, do not be shy about visiting Uie National Archives.
How can I verify that a house is an Underground Railroad site?
The National Park Service has developed a verification process for reconstructing the stories of the Underground Railroad. The
process involves the use of written sources with strong or circumstantial evidence. The research process also requires carefiil
analysis of local oral traditions. The National Park Service is currently compiling an inventory of every structure associated with
Uie Underground Railroad. Once you have established at least two different kinds of evidence, you should contact the Park
Service by calling Uie head of Uic Network to Freedom program, Diane Miller, at 402.221.3749.

Changes in the
Library seem to be
everywhere, and the H
remodeling has not even begun!
Interested community members
can learn more about the Library’s
proposed design concepts and
progress through the approvals
process at public information
sessions in June. (See details
below).
i
.
While we are busy designing the
remodeling and expansion, we
have also been installing
improvements and “testing” new
services for the existing Library.
The addition of automated check
out stations and check-in conveyor
system are the most visible
examples. Initial public reaction
has been strongly positive, and
many patrons say they are
surprised by how quick and easy it
is to use. The most frequent patron
concern we have heard is the fear
that our fine staff members may
lose their employment as a result
of automation. This is not the case!
Patrons will continue to see
familiar faces ready to offer
assistance throughout the Libraiy.
Come visit us soon!

sale at the Deerfield Farmers Market on Saturday, September 17,
2011.
• Used books are sold during regular Library hours in the first floor

Friends continue to accept gently used hardback and paperback
books, as well as CD’s and DVD’s. We ask that households donate only
two shopping bags or boxes per week. Please bring donations to the
Patron Services Desk.
• The Friends need volunteers from the community to help sort and
shelve the used book donations. Any amount of time and help is
appreciated. Please contact the Friends for more information.
• The Board of the Friends will meet on August 24 at 7 p.m. at the

development - will be rolling into the
Library’s parking lot on Saturday, June

Museum - Education Foundation and
aimed at pre-readers Pre-K through
Kindergarten. A visit to the StoryBus
immerses children in four popular
stories, including “Goldilocks and the
Three Bears,” “The Little Red Hen,”
“The Gingerbread Man,” and “The Three
Little Pigs.” The kids participate in the
creation of each story, helping the
characters and even providing
alternative endings. Plus, there are great
follow-up activities and suggestions on
their website, including how to keep
storytime at home active, fresh, and fun.
For other ideas on how to encourage
children to want to read, ask any of our
Youth Services staff for ideas - they’re

Volunteer Opportunities @ the Library
Teen Advisory Board
Join the Teen Advisory Board! As a TAB member you can help come up with
programming ideas for teens at the Library, talk about books, magazines, movies, and
music with other Deerfield teens, help create content for the library’s website, and
more. If you are interested in becoming a member call or email
reference@deerfieldlibrary.org and ask for Madeline, the teen services liaison.
A public library is—among
many other good things—
public. Common sense (and
Library policy, by the way)
says that parents and
caregivers must stay with
children under nine. In
addition, be mindful of
purses, backpacks, laptops,
or anything else of value; and
let Library staff know of any
suspicious activities right
away. Have you noticed we
have added security cameras
at each Library entrance?

Three Day Video Loans
In response to patrons’ requests, we
have extended the loan period for
videos from two days to three. Rental
fees for videos marked “NEW”
remain $1 per video. All older videos
may be borrowed free of charge to
Deerfield cardholders. You may take
out six videos at a time, and many

is Librarian in the Lobby. Every

Jack Hicks in the library' lobby. This

administrators and share library con
cerns. We find that most of the com
ments are positive and many are very
helpful. This is our own brand of
market research and we do listen and
respond to you!
We also have a suggestion box at the
front desk and often implement help
ful patron suggestions. If you think
the library should purchase a book or
recording, we have a green “consider
for purchase” form you can fill out in
any department. If our librarians who
select the materials feel that it will be
a good library purchase, we will try
to buy your requested item and noti
fy you when it comes in. We are

Are You a Poet and You Don’t Know It?
Rosemaiy Sazonoff Third Annual Writing Contest
January 4- February 16.
This year the Rosemary Sazonoff Creative Writing Contest focuses
specifically on poetry. There will be one contest for adults and #
a separate contest for children, grades 2-8. Rosemary

public activist and lifetime library user. The contest is
held in her memory.
The poetry contest encourages your creativity: memories, present thoughts or future think

chance of winning. You can try haiku, narrative (story poem), song lyrics (ok to rhyme),
dramatic dialogue, or dedicate your poem to someone or something.
Need help with this poetry writing? We will have two workshops to jump start your cre
ativity! If you plan to attend, please reserve your space!
□ Saturday, January 9,9:30 a.m.to noon. Poetry writing workshop for adults, from
junior high age on up. This will be a hands-on exercise and exposition on lyric, narrative
and dramatic forms of poetry.
E3 Saturday, January 16,9:30 a.m. to noon. A poetry workshop for children, grades 2-5.
Hands-on exercises including image builders, five senses, colors, personal expression.
Workshop leader is Cynthia Gallaher, author of a new book of Chicago poems,
Swimmer’s Prayer. She has led workshops in schools, libraries and community centers.
There are monetary prizes for the top three winners of the childrens’ and the adults’ con
test. Winners will read from their work at the adult party at 2 p.m. Sunday, February 28
and the children’s party at 7 p.m. February 25. Pick up entry forms at Adult Reference or

The book originally written in 1928 for

You can call 945-3372 from your TTY and
conversations are typed from one machine

□ Why do we we purchase more abridged
than unabridged books on tape? Many
patrons don’t want to carry 12 or more cas
settes when they ride the train or jog. Also,
fewer popular titles are available in
unabridged format and are costly. We are
increasing our unabridged collection but if
we do not own we can arrange an interli
brary loan for you. Ask a librarian!
