The Underground Railroad in Floyd County, Indiana (Hardcover)

Floyd County, Indiana, and its county seat, New Albany, are located
directly across the Ohio River from Louisville, Kentucky.
Louisville was a major slave-trade center, and Indiana was a free
state. Many slaves fled to Floyd County via the Underground
Railroad, but their fight for freedom did not end once they reached
Indiana. Sufficient information on slaves coming to and through
this important area may be found in court records, newspaper
stories, oral history accounts, and other materials that a full and
fascinating history is possible, one detailing the struggles that
runaway slaves faced in Floyd County, such as local, state, and
federal laws working together to keep them from advancing socially,
politically, and economically. This work also discusses the
altitudes, people, and places that help in explaining the successes
and heartaches of escaping slaves in Floyd County. Included are a
number of freedom and manumission papers, which provided court
certification of the freedom of former slaves.
