The Underground Railroad records : narrating the hardships, hairbreadth escapes, and death struggles of the slaves in their efforts for freedom
Book
Revised edition.
"In riveting and heartbreaking testimonies from the front lines of the epic struggle for freedom, here is the true story of the underground railroad. As a conductor for the Underground Railroad -- the covert resistance network created to aid and protect slaves seeking freedom -- William Still helped as many as eight hundred people escape enslavement. He also meticulously collected the letters, biographical sketches, arrival memos, and ransom notes of the escapees. The Underground Railroad Records is an archive of primary documents that traces the narrative arc of the greatest, most successful campaign of civil disobedience in American history. These essential records and stories, introduced in this edition by a powerful new essay by Ta-Nehisi Coates, highlight the remarkable creativity, resilience, and determination demonstrated by those trying to subvert bondage. It is a timeless treatment to the power we all have to challenge systems that oppress us." --
