Letter From A Missouri Slave of 1633 Reaches Wauseon Library
A fragmentary 1633 letter written by a Missouri enslaved man to Charlie Eastwood, sent from Jefferson County with a Missouri postmark, is now preserved at the Wauseon Public Library. The piece, read aloud in legible hand despite age, connects readers with slave era longing and the dream of freedom. The artifact arrived via Allen Shadle and Fremont descendants, then copied for local access as a relic of bygone slavery days and a window into human rights striving.
