All along the mid-1800s Western frontier, the path of fugitive
slaves in the Underground Railroad was filled with danger. An
escapee who managed to avoid violence still was hard-pressed to
survive in a place of frequent drought and illness, where newly
settled sympathizers were often unable to give accurate
descriptions of the topography, climate, or food sources. This book
details the history and development of the Underground Railroad in
Arkansas, Missouri, Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, and Oklahoma. Topics
include lesser known escape routes into Mexico and the American
Indian nations, the sacking of Lawrence, Kansas, and guerilla
warfare; escapees' use of steamboats along the Mississippi and
Missouri rivers; and the activities of John Brown, James
Montgomery, Dan Anthony, and others.
