After generations of being dressed by force, choosing what to wear carried enormous meaning.

They show people presenting themselves on their own terms: a visible act of self-possession.

Boyne: you can start with 'the boy in the striped osnaburg shirt'
Boyne: it's about the wonderfully innocent child of a plantation overseer
Boyne: who befriends a boy toiling in the cotton fields
Boyne: but our child narrator is so innocent he doesn't even know what slavery is

never ask a Dundonian about the pre-jute linen industry
"Vast quantities of Dundee's linen was used to clothe slaves as manufacturers accessed the growing empire being carved out in the Americas. "Ships began sailing directly to the slave capitals of Savannah, New Orleans, Mobile and Charleston, the major point of entry for Africans brought to America, with cargoes of cheap, coarse cloth to be stitched together in situ for the loose-fitting outer garments slaves used on plantations. "Female slaves had dresses made from osnaburg, commonly called 'Negro cloth, which was the heavy coarse cotton made in Dundee and some other linen centres - and used in this country for sacking. "Records of runaway slaves provide some of the most telling evidence of the imported linen products they wore. "So, in the Virginia Gazette in the year 1775, for example, Adam, aged 23, ran away from Brandon Parish, Prince George County, while wearing 'osnaburg shirt, Negro cotton jacket, old blue cloth breeches and cotton gambadoes'. When Stephen, aged about 21, escaped on New Year's Day 1775, he wore an osnaburg shirt, and carried off two more osnaburg shirts. "Worse, although Dundee Town Council had sanctioned the abolition of slavery in the 1780s, manufacturers had little enthusiasm for abolition and continued to exploit colonial slave markets until it was outlawed throughout the British Empire in 1833.

Ohhhh - I would TOTALLY appreciate that! The cut on the inside of the star leaves a half inch. The pattern calls for osnaburg, which I've never heard of. I am using muslin for my first run, but wondered if drop cloth might be an option...

Thank you so much 🥰

…and replaced it with a new Steamfast. You may know this as a mangle. There was a bit of a learning curve to learn how to use it but after that I’ve been very pleased with it. Also, I find that ironing pillow cases is therapeutic.
This Steampress mangle has a pressing surface of 25” by 10”. The heated surface, with the handles and controls on the top, is hinged at the back. With the top raised, fabric is placed on the padded bottom surface. In this case, a long length of 45” wide osnaburg fabric (a coarse natural cotton fabric) has been carefully stacked at the rear of the mangle so that it can be pulled forward 10 inches at a time and pressed.

On July 1852, I walked out of Cox's harvest field at Rich Hill, Charles County, MD. With only a shoe, I left mid-harvest, mid-summer. I did not wait for a better moment. Thirteen years later Cox sheltered Lincoln's assassin. My name was DICK. #slavery #MD #blackhistory
$50 REWARD. LEFT my harvest field on Thursday the 1st July, instant, servant boy DICK. He is about 20 years of age, 5 feet 6 inches high, and well proportioned, his complexion dark, has a scar on one of his cheeks from a recent bite. Dick had on when he left, simply a cotton osnaburg shirt, and linen osnaburg pantaloons, a broad brim straw hat, and carried off but one shoe. I will give the above reward if taken 30 miles from home, or $20 if taken in the county. In either case to be secured so that I get him again. SAMUEL COX, Rich Hill, near Port Tobacco, Charles County, Md. July 14, 1852.

I was trying to remember the name of a coarse cotton fabric, but none of the reference sources I found had anything to jog my memory. I knew the word; it just wouldn;t come up.

I ran from Eliza Martin in September 1850; we were then living at the house of Dr. John Gibson, her brother, in Calvert County, Maryland. I wasn’t able to take much with me from the house, and I might not have gotten very far before I was captured. My name was BETSY. #slavery
ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS REWARD will be given for the apprehension and delivery to me of my NEGRO WOMAN BETSY. She is of very dark mulatto color, has a down sly look when spoken to. 18 years of age, and is well formed. She wore when she left a red striped cotton Osnaburg dress, and carried nothing with her. As she has a stepfather living at Mrs. Brown's, in Charles county, near the Potomac river, it is likely she will found in that neighborhood; but, as she left without provocation, she may have started for Pennsylvania. I will give the above reward if taken out of the State of Maryland, or $50 if taken within the State of Maryland, and not in Calvert county, and $10 if taken in said county in either case to be returned to me or secured so that I get her.
