i could remember the librarian, she had a bonnet on the back of her head. very sensible shoes. i look at librarians today, that is how they look. she always spoke in a whisper. didn't talk out loud in the library. whispered. she was so kind to me that i loved librarians. when they ask me to do something, it is hard for me to say no. and that is why i flew in the dark at night from atlanta to come out here. [laughter]. but it is because of that generosity of the national public library. so i went there to get my books and i would bring them home and read all 3. then the next week i would take them back to the library. i would read often. when you read better, you read success. i credit the national public library with my successes as a young reader and a young writer. my grandfather had 2 books on his shelf. one was king james version of the bible, the other was bull finch's mythology. it was that thick and on the mantle. i can see it as clearly as i am looking at them now. keu remember looking at the pictures and beginning to pick through some of the stories. and i learned to l

horse drawn carriage left the barn, sitting next to the driver was an individual covered by a sun bonnet. the driver who had been camouflaged escaped in another direction. we do not have enough time to relate all of the accounts and stories about all of the underground railroad activities. let me present one last story which lovejoy himself discussed on the floor of congress. he had been accused of buying a ticket for an elderly slave and putting him on a railroad passenger car to chicago. by the mid 1850s the old chicago burlington and quincy railroad had been built and track extended from chicago to the mississippi river. western illinois underground railroad conductors started putting fugitive slaves on real trains headed to lake michigan. towards the end of one of lovejoy's speeches on the house floor he eluded to this episode. towards the end of his remarks he said a single word is to the charge of negrostealing. anyone who chooses may transform himself into a bloodhound. i will never do this. owen lovejoy lives in princeton, illinois, three quarters of a mile east of the village an
