Wheeler vs. Passmore Williamson Including the Several Opinions Delivered; And The Arguments of Counsel Reported by Arthur Cannon Esq. Phonographer. Philadelphia: Uriah Hunt & Son 1856. Octavo modern half calf-gilt marbled boards; pp. 191. $2200.First edition of ""the most complete record available"" of the controversial Pennsylvania case on fugitive slaves a core work establishing a precedent ""in federal and state courtsÉ and important cause clÂbre for the antislavery movement"" crucial in asserting a clear path for the following year's Dred Scott decision and provoking a ""legal crisisÉ that led to the Civil War.""""During the fugitive slave controversy the abolitionist underground kicked into high gear."" This momentous shift was propelled by Federal District Judge John K. Kane in the Passmore Williamson case involving the rights of fugitive slave Jane Johnson. ""In July 1855 Col. John H. Wheeler the U.S. minister plenipotentiary designate to Nicaragua traveled to Philadelphia with his slave Jane and her two sons."" When she ""managed to get word out of her desire for freedom"" Black abolitionist William Still famed for his 1872 work Underground Railroad heard of her plight and alerted white abolitionist Passmore Williamson. They arranged to meet at the Philadelphia wharf and Williamson who arrived first immediately told Jane ""she was entitled to her freedom and released her from Wheeler's grasp."" As she fled with her two sons ""a heated exchange and scuffle occurred between Still Williamson and Wheeler who was held down by two of the five Black dockworkers present"" Sinha Slave's Cause 527-28.This triggered a series of major court cases when Williamson was presented with a writ of habeas corpus by Judge Kane and indictments were issued charging Williamson and the Black dockworkers for riot assault and robbery for the theft of slave property in transit. Although Williamson stated Jane and her sons were never in his custody Kane charged him with contempt and sentenced him to jail. As Frederick Douglass joined with others in attacking Kane's ""tyrannical position"" and Williamson petitioned for the contempt charge to be dropped Jane who adopted the surname of Johnson played yet another key role. In an affidavit sworn in Massachusetts she affirmed that she had never been in Williamson's custody stating: ""Nobody forced me awayÉ I always wished to be free and meant to be free when I came North"" Sinha 529. Although Jane was likely considered free under Pennsylvania law the Pennsylvania Supreme Court ""refused to interfere with Williamson's incarceration"" after Judge Kane rejected Jane's affidavit Finkelman Slavery in the Courtroom 40-41. In effect Kane's defense of slave-owner rights ""created a new constitutional rightÑ'transit for property and person'Ñbased on a Constitution written to 'establish a more perfect union.'"" Williamson was imprisoned for nearly six months and became a martyr for the abolitionist cause but ""more importantÉ was the precedent set in the federal and state courts by this case."" Judge Kane's insistence ""that Wheeler had a right to bring his slaves into Pennsylvania and capture them there if they escapedÉ despite state law explicitly prohibiting it"" opened the way for the ""high-water mark of this positionÉ in the Dred Scott case 1857 a year after Kane's opinion"" Finkelman Imperfect Union 260-64; emphasis added. The case of Passmore Williamson and Jane Johnson was ""an important cause clÂbre for the antislavery movementÉ an example ofÑand contributor toÑthe legal crisis and the crisis in federalism that led to the Civil War"" Finkelman Slavery 41. First edition: recorded by court reporter Arthur Cannon: ""contains the most complete record available of the proceedings before Judge Kane in the federal district court and the proceedings in this case before the Pennsylvania Supreme CourtÉ of particular interest is the dissent of Justice John C. Knox"" which is not present in the Pennsylvania Reports.

réf. vot215Arcadia Publishing 2009. Octavo softbound stiff sepia-toned photo. wrappers 127 pp. Fine. From lower cover: While Hudson was first settled around 1872 the community’s namesake Isaac Washington Hudson Sr.’s family did not permanently move here until 1878. By 1884 the new town of Hudson had been platted and the community’s first post office and school were built. In its infancy the community grew fast and residents relied upon the lands and Gulf waters for their livelihood. With the fast-growing community came the establishment of numerous sponging and fishing businesses in addition to farms. The banks of the big Hudson Spring were becoming the center of commerce and there the resident businessmen constructed their docks fish houses mercantile stores hotels and more. Today with a development on every corner and vacant lands becoming extinct it is extremely hard to imagine those times. Little of this past remains and in its place the bulldozers are paving Hudson with progress. Local historian Jeff Cannon traces his Florida heritage to the 1840s and is a fifth-generation Hudson resident. In Images of America: Hudson he presents the places faces and events that have shaped the community’s history and character. As the Old South ambiance of Hudson has passed with development so has much of its history which is demonstrated in this keepsake volume. paperback books
