Douglass reached Havre de Grace
Time: Sep, 1838
Place: Havre de Grace, Maryland, U.S.
Details: Young Douglass reached Havre de Grace, Maryland, in Harford County, in the northeast corner of the state, along the southwest shore of the Susquehanna River, which flowed into the Chesapeake Bay. Although this placed him only some 20 miles (32 km) from the Maryland-Pennsylvania state line, it was easier to continue by rail through Delaware, another slave state. Dressed in a sailor's uniform provided to him by Murray, who also gave him part of her savings to cover his travel costs, he carried identification papers and protection papers that he had obtained from a free black seaman.

Best-effort ordering. Some events may appear out of order since many are only known to the year, but they are usually around the same period.
