You successfully run north to a maroon community
of former slaves that you’ve heard about from others.
Historical context: Created by
former slaves across the South, maroon societies
were permanent outlaw communities primarily located
in the least accessible areas isolated by swamps
or dense forests. These former slaves sustained
themselves by hunting, fishing and gardening, and
their communities were considered sites of full-fledged
liberty by enslaved blacks.

Railroad” in Passages to Freedom: The Underground
Railway in History and Memory, David W. Blight,
