Summary of The Underground Railroad: Authentic Narratives and First-Hand Accounts (African American)
A "conductor" based in Philadelphia, Still (1821?1902) helped guide fugitive slaves to safety in the years before the Civil War. He also created this unforgettable history, a collection of carefully preserved letters, newspaper articles, and firsthand accounts about refugees' hardships, narrow escapes, and deadly struggles. Over 50 illustrations. "Highly recommended."? Midwest Book Review.
