The Enigmatic Proprietor

from $167.07

"William Douglass, a man veiled in mystery, graces the pages of Buffalo's history as Uncle Dug. Emerging into the world around 1795, his voyage led him to Buffalo, where his legacy found an extraordinary abode in Dug's Dive—an establishment that transcended societal boundaries. This enigmatic man's journey mirrors the evolution of the city, leaving an indelible imprint on the lore of its waterfront. It's worth mentioning that several sources hint at his enslaved past, yet the exact circumstances of his arrival in Buffalo—whether through escape or emancipation—remain shrouded in ambiguity. Painted as a towering figure of African descent, Douglass's origins trace back to the Southwest, a region marked by his years in servitude.
