Description
No person is aware of where the term Underground Railroad came from–there have been no trains or tracks, simplest “conductors” who helped escaping slaves to freedom. Together with real stories about “passengers” at the “Railroad,” this book chronicles slaves’ shut calls with bounty hunters, laborious struggles at the road, and what they sacrificed for freedom. With 80 black-and-white illustrations all over and a 16-page black-and-white photo insert, the Underground Railroad comes alive!
