Fugitives fleeing from slavery in Kentucky, Missouri, and points
farther south traversed the entire state of Illinois while moving
northward. But they were most likely to receive help from
Underground railroad operators if they passed through western
Illinois, where a good number of Underground Railroad agents lived.
This book briefly discusses the Underground Railroad throughout the
United States and all of Illinois. It addresses at length the
activities of Underground Railroad operators, both black and white,
in western Illinois. The compelling efforts of these people have
been surprisingly neglected; this book examines in detail their
significant contributions to this heroic chapter in American
history.
