My dad once asked his Uncle, Farley Benjamin Goins about our family history. Great Uncle Farley laughed and said "You'll never figure it out."
Hence this article on a soon-to-be published book about a former slave who changed his name to Henry Goings after escaping via the Underground Railroad. The memoirs were published by a small Canadian Press, not far from where Goings lived. I can't wait to read it!
