Uncle Tom's Cabin: Eliza escaping across the Ohio
Picture: Stowe, Harriet Beecher. Uncle Tom's Cabin. London: Trischlen and Company, 1891
"The huge green fragment of ice on which she alighted pitched and creaked as her weight came on it, but she staid there not a moment. With wild cries and desperate energy she leaper to another and still another cake;-stumbling-leaping-slipping-springing-upwards again! Her shoes are gone-her stockings cut from her feet-while blood marked every step; but she saw nothing, felt nothing, till dimly, as a dream, she say the Ohio side, and a man helping her up the bank."(Stowe p55)
