John Rankin used to shelter fugitive slaves in his home, and while he was visiting a seminary he told the story of one of the women, which Harriet heard & then used to base her Eliza on. I never wrote about that on my blog, but I did post about another "conductor" in Ripley, and showed a picture of the Rankin house: http://danabugseyeview.blogspot.com/2010/05/john-parker.html The Bughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07509037206264761261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-12276508481080753172017-07-12T09:23:21.075+01:002017-07-12T09:23:21.075+01:00Top Photo.

Also approaching Harriet's frame of mind in my old age so if seen coming , in that bright orange, people might stand a chance.

It was excellent and at that time Mrs Wilkes was still alive, sitting in her chair with her staff rushing around serving her famous southern lunches. We had to queue to get in.<br /><br />Address - 107 West Jones Street. The lunch period lasts from 11am to 2pm. Get there early.Yorkshire Puddinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06019673884543913089noreply@blogger.com
