- "While at school in France, I was often beset by my fellow students to know the history of my father, whom they heard was a fugitive from American despotism. To satisfy their curiosity, I wrote out the first ten chapters of the following pages, as I had heard the incidents related. On returning to America last August, and finding that the narrative of my father's life, written by him, and published some years ago, was out of print, I determined to supply its place; and therefore have added a few more chapters to those written while abroad. Josephine Brown. Boston, Mass."--Preface.
- The source material used by Josephine Brown was William Wells Brown's 1847 autobiography, "Narrative of William W. Brown, a fugitive slave / Written by himself."
