Peg Leg Joe (original) (raw)
Peg Leg Joe is a legendary sailor and underground railroad conductor, popularly associated with the song "Follow the Drinkin' Gourd". According to the folklorist H.B. Parks, who collected the song in the 1910s, Peg Leg Joe was an abolitionist who led enslaved people through the Underground Railroad to freedom during the last years of American slavery. In popular history, he is usually connected with an escape route which led from Alabama to the Ohio River. He may have been a real person or composite of people, but there is no reliable historical evidence of his existence. It is also possible that the story of Peg Leg Joe originates in the African mythical figure, Papa Legba. As his name suggests, Peg Leg Joe is depicted as having a prosthesis for his right leg.

| dbo:abstract | Peg Leg Joe (en français Joe à la jambe de bois) est un personnage qui aurait libéré les esclaves grâce au chemin de fer clandestin. Il n'existe aucune preuve historique de son existence, il est peut-être l'assemblage de plusieurs personnes. Comme son nom le suggère, Peg Leg Joe a une jambe de bois (jambe droite). Peg Leg Joe est reconnu comme étant l'auteur de la chanson qui était probablement chantée par les esclaves travaillant dans les champs durant la seconde moitié du XIXe siècle et le début du XXe siècle — Les paroles ont été publiées pour la première fois par Lee Hays en 1947. Dans le livre pour enfants Follow the Drinking Gourd de Jeanette Winter, Peg Leg Joe est un charpentier dans une plantation. Il enseigne aux esclaves la chanson Follow the Drinking Gourd qui contient un code conduisant les esclaves à la liberté via le Chemin de fer clandestin. Il pourrait aussi avoir été un marin qui enseignait aux environs de 1859 la chanson aux esclaves alors qu'il visitait les plantations du nord de l'Alabama.
