- Manuscript, No. 1.—
-
-
- In the name of God, the merciful the gracious.—God grant his
-blessing upon our lord (seidna) Mohammed. Blessed be He in whose hand is
-the kingdom & who is Almighty; who created death & life that he might
-make you the best of his works; for he is exalted; he is the forgiver
-(of sins,) who created seven heavens one above the other. Do you discern
-anything trifling in creation. Bring back your thoughts. Do you see
-anything worthless. Recall your vision in earnest. Turn your eye inward
-for it is diseased. God has adorned the heavens & the world with lamps,
-& has made us missiles for the devils, & given us for them a grievous
-punishment, & to those who have disbelieved their Lord, the punishment
-of hell & pains of body. Whoever associates with them shall hear a
-boiling caldron, & what is cast therein may fitly represent those who
-suffer under the anger of God.—Ask them if a prophet (director) has not
-been sent unto them. They say, “yes; a prophet has come to us, but we
-have lied to him.” We said, “God has not sent us down any thing, & you
-are in grievous error.” They say, “If we had listened & been wise we
-should not now have been suffering the punishment of the Omniscient.” So
-they confess they have sinned in destroying the followers of the
-Omniscient. Those who fear their Lord & profess his name, they receive
-pardon & great honor. Guard your words, (ye wicked), make it known that
-God is all-wise in all his manifestations. Do you not know from the
-creation that God is full of skill? that He has made for you the way of
-error, & you have walked therein, & have chosen to live upon what your
-god, Nasûr has furnished you. Believe on Him who dwells in heaven, who
-has fitted the earth to be your support & it shall give you food.
-Believe on Him who dwells in Heaven, who has sent you a prophet, & you
-shall understand what a teacher (He has sent you.) Those that were
-before them deceived them (in regard to their prophet.) And how came
-they to reject him? Did they not [↑see] in the heavens above them, how
-the fowls of the air receive with pleasure that which is sent them? God
-looks after all. Believe ye: it is He who supplies your wants, that you
-may take his gifts & enjoy them, & take great pleasure in them. And now
-will you go on in error, or walk in the path of righteousness. Say to
-them; “He who regards you with care, & who has made for you the heavens
-& the earth: & gives you prosperity, Him you think little of. This is He
-that planted you in the earth, & to whom you are soon to be gathered.”
-But they say, “If you are men of truth, tell us when shall this promise
-be fulfilled?” Say to them; “Does not God know? & am not I an evident
-Prophet?” When those who disbelieve shall see the things draw near
-before their faces, it shall then be told them, “these are the things
-about which you made inquiry.” Have you seen that God has destroyed me
-or those with me? or rather that He has shewn us mercy? And who will
-defend the unbeliever from a miserable punishment? Say; “Knowledge is
-from God.” Say; “Have you not seen that your water has become impure?
-Who will bring you fresh water from the fountain?”

-O Sheikh Hunter I cannot write my life because I have forgotten much of
-my own language, as well as [↑of] the Arabic. Do not be hard upon me my
-brother.—To God let many thanks be paid for his great mercy & goodness.

-In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful.—Thanks be to God,

-speech.

- From Omar to Sheikh Hunter.
-
-
- You asked me to write my life. I am not able to do this
-because I have much forgotten my own, as well as the Arabic language.
-Neither can I write very grammatically or according to the true idiom.
-And so, my brother, I beg you, in God’s name, not to chide me, for I am
-a man of weak eyes, & of a weak body.
-
-My name is Omar ibn Seid, (son of Seid.)
-
-
-
-
- (2)
-
-
-My birth place was Fut Tûr, [↑(Fouta Toro,)] between the two rivers,
-(Mesopotamia in Africa?) I sought knowledge under the instruction of
-[↑a] Sheikh called Mohammed Seid, my own brother, & Sheikh Soleiman
-Kembeh, & Sheikh Gabriel Abdal. I continued my studies twenty five
-years, & then returned to my home where I remained six years. Then there
-came to our place a large army, who killed many men, & took me, &
-brought me to the great sea, & sold me into the hands of the Christians
-[↑who bound me] & sent [↑me] on board a great ship & [↑we] sailed upon
-the great sea a month & a half, when we came to a place called
-Charleston in the Christian language. There they sold me to a small,
-weak, & wicked man, called Johnson, a complete infidel, who had no fear
-of God at all. Now I am a small man; & unable to do hard work so I fled
-from [↑the hand of] Johnson & after a month came to a place called
-Fayd-il (Fayette-ville?). Here I saw some great houses (churches). On
-the new-moon I went into a church to pray. A lad saw me & rode off to
-the place of his father & informed him that he had seen a black man in
-the church. A man named Handah (Hunter?) & another man with him on
-horseback, came attended by a troop of dogs. They took me & made me go
-with them twelve miles to a place called Fayd-il(?) where they put me
-into a great house from which I could not go out. I continued in the
-great house (which, in the Christian language, they called jail) sixteen
-days & nights. One Friday the jailor came & opened the door of the house
-& I saw a great many men all Christians, some of whom called out to me,
-“what is your name? Is it Omar or Seid?” I did not understand their
-Christian language. A man called Bob Mumford took me [↑& led me] out of
-the jail, & I was very well pleased to go with them to their place. I
-staid at Mumford’s four days & nights, & then a man named Jim Owen, son
-in law of Mumford, who married his daughter Betsey, asked me if I was
-willing to go to a place called Bladen, (B. Co. N.C.). I said, Yes, I
-was willing. I went with them & have remained in the place (house?) of
-Jim Owen until now.
-
-Before (after?) I came into the hand of Gen. Owen a man by the name of
-Mitchell came to buy me. He asked me if I were willing to go to
-Charleston City. I said “no, no, no, no, no, no, no, I not willing to go
-to Charleston. I stay in the hand of Jim Owen.”
-
- * * * * *
-
-O ye people of N. Carolina, O ye people of S. Carolina, O ye people of
-America, all of you; have you among you any two such men as Jim Owen &
-John Owen. These men are good men. What food they eat they give to me to
-eat. As they clothe themselves they clothe me. They permit me to read
-the gospel of God, our Lord, & Saviour, & King; who regulates all our
-circumstances, our health & wealth, & who bestows his mercies willingly,
-not by constraint. According to my power I open my heart, as to a great
-light, to receive the true way, the way of the Lord Jesus the Messiah.
-
-Before I came to the Christian country, my religion was the religion of
-“Mohammed, the Apostle of God—may God have mercy upon him, & give him
-peace.” I walked to the mosque before day-break, washed my face & head &
-hands & feet. I prayed at noon, prayed in the afternoon, prayed at
-sun-set, prayed in the evening. I gave alms every year, gold, silver,
-seeds, [_illegible word_], cattle, sheep, goats, rice, wheat, & barley.
-I gave tithes of all the above-named things. I went every year to the
-holy war against the infidels. I went on pilgrimage to Mecca, as all did
-who were able.——My father had six sons & five daughters, & my mother had
-three sons & one daughter. When I left my country I was thirty seven
-years old;—I have been in the country of the Christians twenty four
-years.——Written A.D. 1831—
-
-[↑Written in year one thousand eight hundred and one and thirty of Jesus
-the messiah]
-
-O ye people of N. Carolina, O ye people of S. Carolina, O all ye people
-of America—the first son of Jim Owen is called Thomas, & his sister is
-called Masa-jein (Martha Jane?) This is an excellent family.
-
-Tom Owen & Nell Owen have two sons & a daughter. The first son is called
-Jim & the second John. The daughter is named Melissa.
-
-Seid Jim Owen & his wife Betsey have two sons & five daughters. Their
-names are Tom, & John, & Mercy, Miriam, Sophia, Margaret & Eliza. This
-family is a very nice family.
-
-
-
-
- (3)
-
-
-The wife of John Owen is called Louisa & an excellent wife she is. She
-had five children. Three of them died & two are still living.
-
-O ye Americans,—ye people of N. Carolina—have you, have you, have you,
-have you among you a family like this family having so much love to God
-as they?
-
- * * * * *
-
-Formerly I, Omar, loved to read the book of the Koran the famous. Gen.
-Jim Owen & his wife used to read the gospel, & they read it to me very
-much,—the gospel of God, our Lord, our Creator, our King, He that orders
-all our circumstances, health & wealth, willingly, not constrainedly,
-according to his power.—Open thou my heart to the gospel, to the way of
-uprightness.—Thanks to the Lord of all worlds, thanks in abundance. He
-is plenteous in mercy & abundant in goodness.
-
-For the law was given by Moses but grace & truth were by Jesus the
-Messiah.
-
-When I was a Mohammedan I prayed thus: “Thanks be to God, Lord of all
-worlds, the merciful the gracious Lord of the day of Judgment, thee we
-serve, on thee we call for help. Direct us in the right way, the way of
-those on whom thou hast had mercy, with whom thou has not been angry &
-who walk not in error. Amen.”—But now I pray “Our Father” &c.. in the
-words of our Lord Jesus the Messiah.
-
- * * * * *
-
-I reside in this our country by reason of great necessity. Wicked men
-took me by violence & sold me to the Christians. We sailed a month & a
-half on the great sea to the place called Charleston in the Christian
-land. I fell into the hand of a small, weak & wicked man, who feared not
-God at all, nor did he read (the gospel) at all nor pray. I was afraid
-to remain with a man so depraved & who committed so many crimes & I ran
-away. After a month our Lord God brought me forward to the hand of a
-good man, who fears God, & loves to do good, & whose name is Jim Owen &
-whose brother is called Col. John Owen. These are two excellent men.——I
-am residing in Bladen county.
-
-I continue in the hand of Jim Owen who never beats me, nor scolds me. I
-neither go hungry nor naked, & I have no hard work to do. I am not able
-to do hard work for I am a small man & feeble. During the last twenty
-years I have known no want in the hand of Jim Owen.—

-exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations
-from people in all walks of life.

-Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
-assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
-goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
-remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
-Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
-and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future
-generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see
-Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at

-Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
-Literary Archive Foundation
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
-spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
-increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
-freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
-array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
-($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
-status with the IRS.
-
-The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
-charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
-States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
-considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
-with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
-where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND
-DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular
-state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
-have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
-against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
-approach us with offers to donate.
-
-International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
-any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
-outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
-
-Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
-methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
-ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To
-donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works.
-
-Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
-Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be
-freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
-distributed Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of
-volunteer support.
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
-editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
-the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
-necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
-edition.
-
-Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search
-facility: www.gutenberg.org
-
-This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
-including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
-subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.

-<p class='c005'>In the name of God, the merciful the
-gracious.—God grant his blessing upon our
-lord (seidna) Mohammed. Blessed be He in whose
-hand is the kingdom &amp; who is Almighty; who
-created death &amp; life that he might make you the
-best of his works; for he is exalted; he is the forgiver
-(of sins,) who created seven heavens one above the
-other. Do you discern anything trifling in creation.
-Bring back your thoughts. Do you see anything
-worthless. Recall your vision in earnest. Turn your
-eye inward for it is diseased. God has adorned
-the heavens &amp; the world with lamps, &amp; has made
-us missiles for the devils, &amp; given us for them a grievous
-punishment, &amp; to those who have disbelieved
-their Lord, the punishment of hell &amp; pains of body.
-Whoever associates with them shall hear a boiling
-caldron, &amp; what is cast therein may fitly represent
-those who suffer under the anger of God.—Ask them
-if a prophet (director) has not been sent unto them.
-They say, “yes; a prophet has come to us, but we have lied
-to him.” We said, “God has not sent us down any thing, &amp;
-you are in grievous error.” They say, “If we had
-listened &amp; been wise we should not now have been
-suffering the punishment of the Omniscient.” So
-they confess they have sinned in destroying the followers
-of the Omniscient. Those who fear their Lord
-&amp; profess his name, they receive pardon &amp; great
-honor. Guard your words, (ye wicked), make it
-known that God is all-wise in all his manifestations.
-Do you not know from the creation that God
-is full of skill? that He has made for you the way
-of error, &amp; you have walked therein, &amp; have chosen
-to live upon what your god, Nasûr has furnished
-you. Believe on Him who dwells in heaven, who
-has fitted the earth to be your support &amp; it shall
-give you food. Believe on Him who dwells in
-Heaven, who has sent you a prophet, &amp; you shall
-understand what a teacher (He has sent you.)
-Those that were before them deceived them (in regard
-to their prophet.) And how came they to reject him?
-Did they not [↑see] in the heavens above them, how the
-fowls of the air receive with pleasure that which
-is sent them? God looks after all. Believe ye: it
-is He who supplies your wants, that you may take
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_2'>2</span>his gifts &amp; enjoy them, &amp; take great pleasure in them.
-And now will you go on in error, or walk in the path
-of righteousness. Say to them; “He who regards you
-with care, &amp; who has made for you the heavens &amp; the
-earth: &amp; gives you prosperity, Him you think little
-of. This is He that planted you in the earth, &amp;
-to whom you are soon to be gathered.” But they
-say, “If you are men of truth, tell us when shall
-this promise be fulfilled?” Say to them; “Does not
-God know? &amp; am not I an evident Prophet?” When
-those who disbelieve shall see the things draw
-near before their faces, it shall then be told them,
-“these are the things about which you made inquiry.”
-Have you seen that God has destroyed me or
-those with me? or rather that He has shewn us mercy?
-And who will defend the unbeliever from a miserable
-punishment? Say; “Knowledge is from God.”
-Say; “Have you not seen that your water has become
-impure? Who will bring you fresh water from the
-fountain?”</p>

-</div>
-<p class='c006'>My birth place was Fut Tûr, [↑(Fouta Toro,)] between the two
-rivers, (Mesopotamia in Africa?) I sought knowledge
-under the instruction of [↑a] Sheikh called Mohammed
-Seid, my own brother, &amp; Sheikh Soleiman
-Kembeh, &amp; Sheikh Gabriel Abdal. I continued
-my studies twenty five years, &amp; then returned
-to my home where I remained six
-years. Then there came to our place a large army,
-who killed many men, &amp; took me, &amp; brought
-me to the great sea, &amp; sold me into the hands of
-the Christians [↑who bound me] &amp; sent [↑me] on board a great ship
-&amp; [↑we] sailed upon the great sea a month &amp; a half,
-when we came to a place called Charleston in
-the Christian language. There they sold me to
-a small, weak, &amp; wicked man, called Johnson,
-a complete infidel, who had no fear of God at all.
-Now I am a small man; &amp; unable to do hard work
-so I fled from [↑the hand of] Johnson &amp; after a month came to a
-place called Fayd-il (Fayette-ville?). Here I saw
-some great houses (churches). On the new-moon
-I went into a church to pray. A lad saw me &amp;
-rode off to the place of his father &amp; informed him
-that he had seen a black man in the church. A
-man named Handah (Hunter?) &amp; another
-man with him on horseback, came attended by
-a troop of dogs. They took me &amp; made me go with
-them twelve miles to a place called Fayd-il(?)
-where they put me into a great house from which
-I could not go out. I continued in the great
-house (which, in the Christian language, they
-called jail) sixteen days &amp; nights. One Friday
-the jailor came &amp; opened the door of the house
-&amp; I saw a great many men all Christians, some
-of whom called out to me, “what is your name?
-Is it Omar or Seid?” I did not understand their
-Christian language. A man called Bob Mumford
-took me [↑&amp; led me] out of the jail, &amp; I was very well
-pleased to go with them to their place. I staid
-at Mumford’s four days &amp; nights, &amp; then a man
-named Jim Owen, son in law of Mumford, who
-married his daughter Betsey, asked me if I was
-willing to go to a place called Bladen, (B. Co. N.C.).
-I said, Yes, I was willing. I went with them &amp;
-have remained in the place (house?) of Jim Owen
-until now.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>Before (after?) I came into the hand of Gen. Owen
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_4'>4</span>a man by the name of Mitchell came to buy me.
-He asked me if I were willing to go to Charleston
-City. I said “<span class='under'>no</span>, <span class='under'>no</span>, <span class='under'>no</span>, <span class='under'>no</span>,
-<span class='under'>no</span>, <span class='under'>no</span>, <span class='under'>no</span>, I not willing

-<p class='c007'>O ye people of N. Carolina, O ye people
-of S. Carolina, O ye people of America, all of
-you; have you among you any two such men
-as Jim Owen &amp; John Owen. These men are good
-men. What food they eat they give to me to eat. As
-they clothe themselves they clothe me. They permit
-me to read the gospel of God, our Lord, &amp; Saviour,
-&amp; King; who regulates all our circumstances, our
-health &amp; wealth, &amp; who bestows his mercies willingly,
-not by constraint. According to my power I open
-my heart, as to a great light, to receive the true way,
-the way of the Lord Jesus the Messiah.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>Before I came to the Christian country, my
-religion was the religion of “Mohammed, the Apostle
-of God—may God have mercy upon him, &amp; give him
-peace.” I walked to the mosque before day-break,
-washed my face &amp; head &amp; hands &amp; feet. I prayed at
-noon, prayed in the afternoon, prayed at sun-set, prayed
-in the evening. I gave alms every year, gold,
-silver, seeds, [<i>illegible word</i>], cattle, sheep, goats, rice, wheat, &amp;
-barley. I gave tithes of all the above-named things.
-I went every year to the holy war against the infidels.
-I went on pilgrimage to Mecca, as all did who were
-able.——My father had six sons &amp; five
-daughters, &amp; my mother had three sons &amp; one daughter.
-When I left my country I was thirty seven
-years old;—I have been in the country of the Christians
-twenty four years.——Written A.D. 1831—</p>

-This is an excellent family.</p>

-
-<p class='c007'>Formerly I, Omar, loved to read the

-it to me very much,—the gospel of God, our
-Lord, our Creator, our King, He that orders
-all our circumstances, health &amp; wealth, willingly,
-not constrainedly, according to his power.—Open
-thou my heart to the gospel, to the
-way of uprightness.—Thanks to the Lord of
-all worlds, thanks in abundance. He is
-plenteous in mercy &amp; abundant in goodness.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>For the law was given by Moses but grace &amp; truth
-were by Jesus the Messiah.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>When I was a Mohammedan I prayed thus:
-“Thanks be to God, Lord of all worlds, the merciful the gracious
-Lord of the day of Judgment, thee we serve, on
-thee we call for help. Direct us in the right way, the
-way of those on whom thou hast had mercy, with
-whom thou has not been angry &amp; who walk not in
-error. Amen.”—But now I pray “Our Father” &amp;c..
-in the words of our Lord Jesus the Messiah.</p>

-
-1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
-effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread

-electronic works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may
-contain "Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate
-or corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other
-intellectual property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or
-other medium, a computer virus, or computer codes that damage or
-cannot be read by your equipment.
-
-1.F.2. LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
-of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project

-
-Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
-electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
-computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It
-exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations
-from people in all walks of life.
-
-Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
-assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
-goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
-remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
-Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
-and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future
-generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see
-Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at
-www.gutenberg.org
-
-
-
-Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
-
-The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit
-501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
-state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
-Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
-number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent permitted by

-
-Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
-Literary Archive Foundation
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
-spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
-increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
-freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
-array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
-($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
-status with the IRS.
-
-The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
-charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
-States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
-considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
-with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
-where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND
-DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular
-state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
-have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
-against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
-approach us with offers to donate.
-
-International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
-any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
-outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
-
-Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
-methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
-ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To
-donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works.
-
-Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
-Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be
-freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
-distributed Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of
-volunteer support.
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
-editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
-the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
-necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
-edition.
-
-Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search
-facility: www.gutenberg.org
-
-This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
-including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
-subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
