In a letter to <em>Frederick Douglass\u2019s Paper <\/em>dated March 7, 1854, and published on April 14, 1854, Loguen \u201curged that companies of emigrants from the free states be organized and \u2018set out to possess the goodly land\u2019\u201d [5].<\/p>\n<p>Loguen joined forces with Brown in April 1858, guiding him through the American border and into Canada. Together they traveled to St. Catherines, whose 6000 person population included approximately 1000 Black Canadians and Americans [6].<\/p>\n<p>Brown and Loguen journeyed to Canada to meet with Harriet Tubman. Loguen spoke of Tubman with reverence: \u201cAmong slaves she is better known than the Bible, for she circulates more freely.\u201d It is likely that Loguen was present for Brown\u2019s meeting with Tubman [7].<\/p>\n<p>In bringing Brown to meet with Tubman, Loguen played a vital role in the later enactment of Brown\u2019s planned raid, since Tubman was one of major organizers and supporters of the Raid.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_divider][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_2,1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Image of book Trial of Henry W.
