Life of Josiah Henson. Illustrated: Formerly a Slave, Now an Inhabitant of Canada, as Narrated by Himself
Josiah Henson was an author, abolitionist, and minister.

Henson's autobiography, The Life of Josiah Henson, Formerly a Slave, Now an Inhabitant of Canada, as Narrated by Himself, is believed to have inspired the title character of Harriet Beecher Stowe's 1852 novel Uncle Tom's Cabin.
