This excerpt from \u201cThe Underground Railroad\u201d by William Still documents the escape of a fugitive from the ownership of Walter Tyler, a brother of a former President of the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the second account in the book where the Tyler family appears. We also have an excerpt on how President John Tyler\u2019s household also lost a fugitive<\/a> to the Underground Railroad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fugitive in this article is William Taylor. He doesn\u2019t hold back on his opinion on his former master.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[Any headings and italicized text in the excerpt below were added by the website editor. The rest is verbatim from the book apart from some changes to the punctuation<\/em>]<\/p>\n\n\n
