This up-to-date compilation details the most significant stops
along the Underground Railroad. Places of the Underground Railroad:
A Geographical Guide presents an overview of the various sites that
comprised this unique road to freedom, with entries chosen to
represent all regions of the United States and Canada. Where most
works on the Underground Railroad focus on the people involved,
this unique guide explores the intricacies of travel that allowed
the "conductors" to carry out the tasks entrusted to them. It
presents an accurate picture of just where the Underground Railroad
was and how it operated, including routes and itineraries and
connections between the various Railroad locations. Through
information about these locations, the book takes readers from the
beginnings of organized aid to fugitive slaves during the period
following the American Revolution up to the Civil War. It
delineates the possible routes fugitive slaves may have taken by
identifying the rivers, canals, and railroads that were sometimes
used. And it shows that a network, though decentralized and
variable over time and place, truly was established among
Underground Railroad participants.
