Published to coincide with Black History Month and the opening of
the new Underground Railroad Museum in Cincinnati, Fleeing for
Freedom includes selected narratives from the two most important
contemporary chroniclers of the Underground Railroad, Levi Coffin
and William Still. Here are firsthand descriptions of the
experiences of escaped slaves making their way to freedom in the
North and in Canada in the years before the Civil War. George and
Willene Hendrick have chosen a broad range of stories to reflect
the strategies, tactics, heartbreak, and dangers for both the
slaves and the "conductors" of the secret network. In their
Introduction, they provide basic information about the scope and
workings of the Underground Railroad and its impact on slaves,
slaveholders, and the Northern abolitionist societies that were so
heavily involved. Fleeing for Freedom offers gripping personal
accounts of one of the great collaborations between whites and
blacks in American history. With 15 black-and-white engravings and
line drawings."
