We do not know a lot about Crispus Attucks.
There is little information about his life.
•Born about 1723 in Massachusetts Colony.
• Son of an African father and possibly a Native American Indian mother.
•Attucks means ‘deer’ in Natick Indian language.
Page 16
We know that when he was in his 20s, Attucks was a slave.
He lived with his master, Deacon William Brown, in Framingham, Massachusetts.
Page 17
Some historians believe that Attucks earned money by trading horses and cattle.
He saved enough to pay for his freedom, but Brown refused to accept payment.
Page 18
Many believe Crispus Attucks ran away for his freedom.
Page 19
This fugitive slave notice appeared October 2, 1750 in The Boston Gazette:

Ambergris was whaling’s most valuable prize. A waxy substance from a sperm whale’s intestines, it was occasionally found
in whales’ stomachs but more commonly floating on the sea or washed up on shore. Some pieces weighed several hundred
pounds. Perfume makers used it to prolong scents.
Why whales produce ambergris remains unknown. It may coat indigestible fragments, such as pieces of squid beaks, to
protect a whale’s intestines. Or it may be the whale’s equivalent of human gallstones.
Ambergris was used to make perfume.
