Now don't kill me yet...

I know, I know, we just yelled at people for not using search engines. But I've searched around google for half an hour and still haven't found "The Fugitive Blacksmith" by James WC Pennington ANYWHERE. It's very important that I find it, I have an essay which is due tomorrow on it and I don't have the story.

If anyone could help me out, I'd greatly appreciate it - thank you.

spooky : One minute? You are losing it mate

This is a joke right? I copied, "The Fugitive Blacksmith" by James WC Pennington, exactly like that (from what you typed) into the search engine. No probs. Those 2 links were the first two shown.

Cheers

Even "I'm feeling lucky" works....

Did you press the wrong button or something?

Ooh, Father Ted is on. Enough searching for slavery texts from hundreds of years ago, fun though it may be.

Aren't what? Are you saying it was a different bloke with a different book, but are *exactly* the same names? Or that you want the complete text, then it's on Spooky's link (scroll down a bit). Or that you want the actual real book???? I mean if you want the actual book to buy, then it's a bit late isn't it?

Otherwise you will have to explain what 'and still haven't found "The Fugitive Blacksmith" by James WC Pennington ANYWHERE' actually means.

Methinks you shouldn't hope for too high a mark on this one.

My thoughts entirely. Me thinks HZence has lost the plot. Luckily the last time I had homework was over 18 years ago.

Only a reprint mind. Don't push it...

Erm, the obvious - what I'm looking for.

When I searched, I found there were at least two stories entitled "The Fugitive Blacksmith", both by a different author. Unfortunately I couldn't find the one I was looking for.

Well, I just started to read a bit of what Spooky gave, and apparently that is it. But I'm not looking for a novel, I was looking for a short story.

What you don't know is that I went back to school after I posted this and managed to get in and found my lit book. Apparently that's an excerpt from a larger novel, which I was not aware of.

But when I was at google, I did come to those pages, I just didn't think those were it, because they were entirely too long.

But yes, you did find it, and so did I, I just wasn't aware that what was in my English book was an excerpt.

...

(witty remarks will follow)

@Horror Help - Will you stop hijacking peoples threads as it is getting very tiresome. Mods have their eyes on you and you are on their potential banning list I'm reliably informed.

Fair enough. Got me away from annoying asp (not snakes ) problem for a while.

Some Charles fella is also listed for the book (last century). But think it is a compendium of slave stories with the same name (with the book of the same name appearing in it). Was done a good 100+ years after the original. Which I think was published in 1849 in London. Slight problem with if it is actually 1849 or 1850. But 1849 and London seems a bit solid on one page.

Cheers

Ps. If you have to write about what the story says, then you are pretty screwed aren't you? Seems quite long on Spooky's link, and there can't be too many hours left... Talking of which, I have to get up in 5.5 hours Time to sleep!

I'm not screwed. Like I said, what was in my English book was an excerpt, and that's what we're focusing on. Furthermore, what I have to write about is only a few lines from the story. Observe:

"Summarize the reasons Pennington gives for attempting to escape slavery. In at least two well developed paragraphs, point out the attitudes of people who supported slavery as they revealed by the speaker."

And that's only from the excerpt we're given - which I suppose would be Chapter II.
