John Little Farm Site

The Little farm is the fled — the 'Hortense Prout' that's the '61 run, the 'male attire' that's the disguise wore. The 'Ohio camp' is the reached — the 'two miles' that's the freedom near, the 'colonel's order' that's the returned given. The 'Evening Star' is the told — the 'capture news' that's the only record, the 'rigged out' that's the paper's phrase.

The 'city jail' is the punished — the 'safekeeping' that's the Little's word, the 'ten days' that's the cell's span. The 'nine months early' is the freed — the 'Compensated Emancipation' that's the '62 act, the '$500 paid' that's the Little's price. The Little farm is the almost — the 'soldiers reached' that's the escape near-made, the 'last freed' that's the emancipation's edge.

The file keeps Little's: Hortense's disguise, the camp's surrender, the jail's days, and the compensated end.

Little's farm is the archive's D.C. file — the escape that failed nine months early.
