- Title
"The Small Black Boy At my right hand is Christ": George Walton And Friends' Manumission Of Slaves In Revolutionary-Era North Carolina.
- Authors
Crawford, Michael J.
- Abstract
The article presents revised version of a speech presented by Michael J. Crawford, the recipient of the first Seth and Mary Edith Hinshaw Fellowship, in which he discusses a dream of George Walton, a merchant ship captain of Perquimans County, North Carolina, and analyzes the significance of his dream. Walton was in the process of joining the Society of Friends when he had his dream on December 17, 1772. In the dream, he saw that he was walking along through a town, looking for a Quaker meetinghouse. Walton interprets his dream in a very philosophical manner and says that the town he was walking in was the world and searching for meetinghouse signifies his thinking or expecting to find truth amongst gaiety and pleasures of life.
