"My Name is Not Tom" | The Life of Reverend Josiah Henson

New research beyond his autobiographies has revealed a very different Josiah Henson than previously portrayed in earlier biographies, or even in four of his autobiographies. By extensive investigation of primary resources and visiting the places where he lived and paths that he traveled, from Maryland to Kentucky to New England and Canada, Susan Cooke Soderberg has discovered a complex man, dedicated to his family and his community, driven by his search for freedom and knowledge, encompassed by his Christian morality.
