Read this excerpt from Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass - I was probably between seven or eight years old when I left
Colonel Lloyd's plantation. I left it with joy. I shall never
forget the ecstasy with which I received the intelligence
that my old master (Anthony) had determined to let me go
to Baltimore, to live with Mr. Hugh Auld, brother to my old
master's son-in-law, Captain Thomas Auld. I received this
information about three days before my departure. They
were three of the happiest days I ever enjoyed. I spent the
most part of all these three days in the creek, washing off
the plantation scruff, and preparing myself for my
departure.
