The Black Holocaust Of American Slavery And The Underground Railroad

This book provides information about the Underground Railroad, a system developed to aid escaped slaves in their quest for freedom. It is incredible that it had to exist in this country, and individuals had to seek passage out of their own state in order to obtain their freedom. What remarkable people they must have been: to overcome the adversity and oppression of slavery and strive for freedom! Numerous color illustrations, a glossary, timeline, and a bibliography for further reading are included making this book accessible for younger readers and students. It also highlights locations in Frances Smith's hometown of New Milford, Connecticut that were used as part of the Underground Railroad.
