Rogers a poem entitled Loguen's Position also by Rogers and two letters between J.W. and Sarah Logue the wife of his former master written in 1860: upon hearing of his book's publication Sarah demands financial compensation in exchange for "giving up all claim I have on you." His reply is quite a dignified one rebuking her for her outrageous demand and describing his new life "among a free people who I thank God sympathize with my rights and the rights of mankind." Loguen was an abolitionist and bishop of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church. He escaped slavery pursued higher education and opened several schools in central New York State.
