Excerpt from Biography of the Class of 1838 of the College of New Jersey A memorable incident of this year was the burning of the First Presbyterian Church. It stood on the same spot where the present edifice stands, but with its side to the street. We were all in the College Chapel (now the Muse um) at 5 rm. On July 6, 1835, and President Carnahan was conducting Evening Prayers, when suddenly the bell began to ring furiously, and the cry of Fire came up from the street. The first impression was that the College building was itself on fire. The students rushed from the Chapel, and the President was left alone and standing in the pulpit. When we reached the church, flames had just burst through the roof, and in spite of all efforts soon only the bare brick walls were left standing. The conflagration was sup posed to have been caused by the stick of a sky-rocket fired on the evening of the 4th of July, two days before, which had entered an attic window, and there smouldered until the fire burst out. The burning of the church affected the Commence ments and some other exercises of our whole College course.

James Collins Johnson made his name by escaping slavery in Maryland and fleeing to Princeton, New Jersey, where he built a life in a bustling community of African Americans working at what is now Princeton University. After only four years, he was recognized by a student from Maryland, arrested, and subjected to a trial for extradition under the 1793 Fugitive Slave Act. On the eve of his rendition, after attempts to free Johnson by force had failed, a local aristocratic white woman purchased Johnson’s freedom, allowing him to avoid re-enslavement. The Princeton Fugitive Slave reconstructs James Collins Johnson’s life, from birth and enslaved life in Maryland to his daring escape, sensational trial for re-enslavement, and last-minute change of fortune, and through to the end of his life in Princeton, where he remained a figure of local fascination. Stories of Johnson’s life in Princeton often describe him as a contented, jovial soul, beloved on campus and memorialized on his gravestone as “The Students Friend.” But these familiar accounts come from student writings and sentimental recollections in alumni reports—stories from elite, predominantly white, often southern sources whose relationships with Johnson were hopelessly distorted by differences in race and social standing. In interrogating these stories against archival records, newspaper accounts, courtroom narratives, photographs, and family histories, author Lolita Buckner Inniss builds a picture of Johnson on his own terms, piecing together the sparse evidence and disaggregating him from the other black vendors with whom he was sometimes confused. By telling Johnson’s story and examining the relationship between antebellum Princeton’s black residents and the economic engine that supported their community, the book questions the distinction between employment and servitude that shrinks and threatens to disappear when an individual’s freedom is circumscribed by immobility, lack of opportunity, and contingency on local interpretations of a hotly contested body of law.
