Sophia Burthen Pooley (c. 1772 – 1860) was a formerly enslaved African American in New York before being brought to Canada, taken by British Loyalist and Mohawk leader Joseph Brant. Her testimony, documented in American abolitionist Benjamin Drew's book The Refugee: or Narratives of the Fugitive Slaves in Canada (1856), is considered to be one of the only first-person narratives regarding slavery in Canada by a enslaved person during Canada's British Regime.[1]
