Anti-Slavery Almanac for 1838, N. Southard, Editor (Boston: Published by Isaac Knapp, Vol. I, No. 3).
Caption: "The slave Paul had suffered so much in slavery, that he chose to encounter the hardships and perils of a runaway.
He exposed himself, in gloomy forests, to cold and starvation, and finally hung himself, that he might not again fall into
the hands of his tormentor. [See Ball's Narrative, 2d Edit. p. 325.]"
