Many white historians not^d that the blacks did not run off to join the Union soldiers, he indicated. The slave narratives indicated that some masters tried to keep people in slavery after emancipation by various subterfuges. The author found verification of this in other sources. The slave interviews took place ^the late twenties and early thirfies and therefore some recollections are collapsed through the perspective of the years. Left to (ightt Hon. C. DoLocoo Tockar, Hob.
