(soft dramatic music) (suspenseful music) (crickets chirping) - [Narrator] Glover is in Racine.

He's hiding out.

He'd worked there for two years.

Nobody paid any attention to him.

When he was turned in, his owner came to get him.

(crowd clamoring) He is taken to jail in Milwaukee.

(dramatic music) - Sherman Booth is a white guy who's very radical.

He's a writer.

He's a newspaper person.

And so when he hears of Joshua Glover being captured, he puts the word out and, you know, puts out the bat signal.

(horse whinnying) (dog barking) - [Narrator] And Sherman Booth, he gets on his horse.

much like Paul Revere, and recruits people to come.

(people shouting) (hooves clomping) So that they come.

They come in large numbers to actually break Glover out of jail and to take him to some place for refuge.

(crowd clamoring) Wooden beams knock the door down and they actually take him outta jail, and they take him to Deacon Brown's farm.

(dogs barking) (dramatic music continues) - Alright, where can we take this guy?

Well, they weren't sure they could take him anywhere in Milwaukee.

First of all, the place was now crawling with people looking for Glover.

The solution was to put him in a farmer's hay wagon and take him out to Waukesha, which is exactly where they took him.

(horse whinnying) (hooves clomping) - [Narrator] Eventually he's taken down to Waukesha, hid out for a minute, and then down to Burlington, Wisconsin.

And eventually he's taken to a Racine.

(dramatic music continues) (gull cawing) - Racine, built on this natural harbor of the connection of the Root River to Lake Michigan.

Of course, Lake Michigan connects us up to Canada, so you have a whole ton of boats coming in and out.

From there, you have a lot of businessmen creating shipping companies to ship goods that were grown in western Racine, largely wheat, some lumber, out through Racine's Harbor to markets all over the Great Lakes.

(dramatic music continues) And if you are a prominent enough businessman, like A.P.

Dutton was, you have your own warehouse, and you know which captains of those ships that you can trust.

So A.P.

Dutton was known to have hidden Joshua Glover in his warehouse until he could be put on a boat and taken north to Canada, where he lived the rest of his life as a free man.
