Va.), where he served an See also:apprenticeship to a saddler, and where—Wheeling being an important headquarters of the inter-See also:State slave See also:trade—he first became deeply impressed with the iniquity of the institution of slavery, and determined to devote his See also:life to the cause of abolition. In 1815, while living at See also:Saint Clairsville, See also:Ohio, he organized an anti-slavery association, known as the "See also:Union Humane Society," which within a few months had a membership of more than five See also:hundred men.

Between 182o and 1830, according to a statement made by Lundy himself, he travelled " more than 5000 M. on See also:foot and 20,000 in other ways, visited nineteen states of the Union, and held more than 200 public meetings." He was bitterly denounced by slaveholders and also by such non-slaveholders as disapproved of all anti-slavery agitation, and in January 1827 he was assaulted and seriously injured by a slave-trader, See also:Austin Woolfolk, whom he had severely criticized in his paper.
