Thomas Garrett House Site

Garrett's door is the busiest — the '2,700' that's the count claimed, the 'last stop' that's the Wilmington's name. The 'fined to ruin' is the paid — the 'Taney's court' that's the '48 broke, the 'kept working' that's the bankrupt's answer. The 'Tubman's parents' is the kept — the 'entrusted' that's the Moses' faith, the 'letters survived' that's the partnership proved.

The 'Stowe's model' is the borrowed — the 'Simeon Halliday' that's the character made, the 'Quaker friend' that's the fiction's truth. The 'carried him' is the honored — the 'Black Wilmingtonians' that's the pallbearers chose, the 'Quaker cemetery' that's the grave reached. Garrett's is the open — the 'God's Poor' that's the welcome kept, the 'door always' that's the station's rule.

The file keeps Garrett: the 2,700, the ruinous fines, Tubman's trust, and the carried coffin.

Garrett's site is the archive's Delaware file — the stationmaster who helped 2,700.
