Understand the daily choices, fears, and experiences of freedom seekers along the Underground Railroad.
Delving into the lives and stories of everyday men and women either escaping slavery or helping others to escape, this book shows the day-to-day realities of life along the Underground Railroad. This story explores the range of perspectives by examining the various geographic areas, means of escape, places of refuge, and the people who helped them, giving nuance and understanding to this period of American history. From physical abuse to the fear of recapture to the daring efforts to rescue others, chapters detail the challenges and hardships brave freedom seekers faced in their efforts to escape the bonds of slavery. The book further addresses head on common misconceptions and important points of view that history has failed to represent. The book's heart comes from the real stories of real freedom seekers and Underground Railroad agents interwoven throughout the book. Additional resources such as a timeline and a glossary further complement the work, giving students quick access to major events and themes about the Underground Railroad and its contextualizing history.Author: Cassandra Newby-Alexander
