520    David Ruggles (1810-1849) was of one of the most heroic--
       and has been one of the most often overlooked--figures of 
       the early abolitionist movement in America. Graham Russell
       Gao Hodges provides the first biography of this African 
       American activist, writer, publisher, and hydrotherapist 
       who secured liberty for more than six hundred former bond 
       people, the most famous of whom was Frederick Douglass. A 
       forceful, courageous voice for black freedom, Ruggles 
       mentored Douglass, Sojourner Truth, and William Cooper 
       Nell in the skills of antislavery activism. As a founder 
       of the New York Committee of Vigilance, he advocated a 
       "practical abolitionism" that included civil disobedience 
       and self-defense in order to preserve the rights of self-
       emancipated enslaved people and to protect free blacks 
       from kidnappers who would sell them into slavery in the 
       South.
