Augusta (ME) Farmer, "Another Slave Stampede in Kentucky," October 26, 1848

ANOTHER SLAVE STAMPEDE IN KENTUCKY. They Maysville Herald of Wednesday week, mentions the discovery and frustration of another negro stampede in Kentucky. Some forty slaves, it says, belonging in Woodford county, had made arrangements to break the bounds of servitude and seek the sweets of liberty in a free State, on Saturday. The negroes all had free passes, and according to general orders, were each to steal a horse, and thus ride out of the land of bondage.
