Because of its clandestine nature, much of the history of the
Underground Railroad remains shrouded in secrecy--so much so that
some historians have even doubted its importance. After decades of
research, Tom Calarco recounts his experiences compiling evidence
to give credence to the legend's oral history in upstate New York.
As the Civil War loomed and politicians from the North and South
debated the fate of slavery, brave New Yorkers risked their lives
to help fugitive slaves escape bondage. Whites and blacks alike
worked together on the Underground Railroad, using ingenious
methods of communication and tactics to stay ahead of the slave
master and bounty hunter. Especially after the passage of the
Fugitive Slave Act, conscientious residents doubled their efforts
to help runaways reach Canada. Join Calarco on this journey of
discovery of one of the noblest endeavors in American history.
