## Description

No one knows where the term Underground Railroad came from--there were no trains or tracks, only "conductors" who helped escaping slaves to freedom. Including real stories about "passengers" on the "Railroad," this book chronicles slaves' close calls with bounty hunters, exhausting struggles on the road, and what they sacrificed for freedom. With 80 black-and-white illustrations throughout and a sixteen-page black-and-white photo insert, the Underground Railroad comes alive!

Review: Great book! - Very well written. My 11 year old granddaughter read it for a home school book report. It was so helpful in opening her eyes to the horrors of slavery, the bravery of those who helped slaves escape and ultimately to the necessity of the Civil War. Highly recommend.
Review: Outil precieux - Cette série est très utile pour préparer des cours fin de collège ou lycée.
