Texas was the darkest corner of the Old South, too remote and
violent for even the bravest abolitionists. Yet North Texas
newspapers commonly reported runaway slaves, and travelers in South
Texas wrote of fugitives heading to Mexico. On July 8, 1860,
Dallas, Texas burned. Three slaves were accused of arson and hanged
without a trial. Today, most historians attribute the fire to
carelessness. Silent We Stood weaves the tale of a small band of
abolitionists working in secrecy within Dallas's close-knit
society. There's Joseph Shaw, an undertaker and underground
railroad veteran with a shameful secret; Ig Bodeker, a charismatic,
melancholic preacher; Rachel Bodeker, a fierce abolitionist, Ig's
wife, and Joseph Shaw's lover; Rebekah, a freed slave who'll
sacrifice everything for the cause; Samuel Smith, a cryptofreedman
whose love for Rebekah exacts a terrible cost; and, towering above
them all, a near-mythical one-armed runaway who haunts area slavers
and brings hope to those dreaming of freedom.
