The law … prohibited the sale of any slave out of the
State,--and all minors were to be free at twenty-one years of age. When
Isabella heard that her son had been sold South, she immediately started on
foot and alone, to find the man who had … dared, in the face of all law, human
and divine, to sell her child out of the State; and if possible, to bring him
to account for the deed. [With money she received from some local Quakers, Sojourner
Truth pays a lawyer who promises to get her son. Mother and child are soon
united.] She commenced [began] as soon as practicable to examine the boy, and
found, to her utter [complete] astonishment, that from the crown of his head to
the sole of his foot, the callosities [calluses] and indurations [places of
hardened skin] on his entire body were most frightful to behold.
"Heavens! what is all this?" said Isabella.
He answered, "It is where Fowler whipped, kicked, and beat me."
