Marcus Of The Woods was a slave who had been born in St. Kitts some time in the PROBABLY in the late 1700’s. He first gained notoriety in 1813 when he ran away from Hutchinson’s Estate and took refuge in the safety of the green haven that surrounded what would come to be known as Mount Misery, and then Mount Liamuiga.The tale of Marcus of the Woods personifies bravery, resistance and the fight for freedom, his story should be held in the highest regard and is a perfect fit for the Island Archives.
