Amos Fortune

Amos Fortune was  the son of a chief of a native tribe. One day, whites came and captured Amos and some of his friends to be sold at a slave auction. Amos was sold to a man named Caleb. He worked for Caleb, and eventually they let him become a free man. Amos Fortune married 3 times. His first 2 wives died of an illness, and his 3rd wife lived a while after Amos died. Amos lived his life as a tanner. He gave a lot of his money to the church and the school right before he died. Amos died faithfully, in God's name.
