the Fugitive Slave Law. He escaped
from authorities and was recaptured.
A sympathetic crowd of about 2,500
townspeople rushed the building where
he was being held. He was spirited out
by the crowd and escaped to Kingston,
Ontario. Today, a marker in downtown
Syracuse describes the Jerry Rescue.
Tubman realized that Canada, where
slavery had been abolished by the British
Parliament in 1833, should be the final
destination for slaves seeking freedom.
She moved her base of operations to
St. Catharines in southern Ontario,
about 50 miles north of the U.S.-Canadian
border, where she lived for seven years.
Tubman is believed to have made at least
10 trips back to the South during that
time, including one in 1857 to rescue her
elderly parents in Maryland and bring
them to freedom in St. Catharines.
New York at the Crossroads
After the Civil War, Tubman moved
to Auburn, N. Y., where she continued
to press for equal rights and rights for
women with the suffragist Susan B.
Anthony. Tubman died in 1913, when she
was well into her 90s, and her Auburn
home is a National Historic Landmark.
Not far from her home is the Seward
House, also a landmark. It is the former
EXERCISE
IN EXACTLY
4 MINUTES
PER DAY
THE TYPICAL QUICKGYM PURCHASER
GOES THROUGH SEVERAL STAGES:
1. Total disbelief that the QuickGym can do all this in only 4 minutes.
2. Rhetorical (and sometimes hostile) questioning and ridicule.
3. Reading the QuickGym literature and reluctantly understanding it.
4. Taking a leap of faith and renting a QuickGym for 30 days.
5. Being highly impressed by the results and purchasing a QuickGym.
6. Becoming a QuickGym enthusiast and trying to persuade friends.
7. Being ignored and ridiculed by the friends who think you’ve
lost your mind.
8. After a year of using the QuickGym your friends admiring your
good shape.
9. You telling them (again) that you only exercise those
4 minutes per day.
10. Those friends reluctantly rent the QuickGym for a 30 day trial.
Repeat the above cycle from point 5 on down.
You get the same results from
4 minutes on the QUICKGYM as:
• 25 to 45 minutes of aerobic exercise for cardio conditioning.
• 45 minutes of weight training for muscle tone & strength.
• 20 minutes of stretching for limberness & flexibility.
RENT A QUICKGYM FOR 30 DAYS.
