Beskrivelse

This remarkable volume stands as a testament to the extraordinary efforts made to achieve freedom for countless enslaved individuals. Its publication was made possible by a unique confluence of circumstances that rarely accompany the birth of a book. Before emancipation, the powerful narratives contained within could not be shared openly due to the perils of slavery. Now, in the light of peace and freedom, these stories can be disseminated without fear. Among the many who championed the cause of abolition, few took the initiative to document their experiences, and even fewer preserved those accounts for posterity. However, one man—William Still, known as the Father of the Underground Railroad—successfully chronicled the workings of this vital network over his 14 years of service as Chairman of the Philadelphia Branch. This volume, derived from his meticulous records, letters, interviews, and biographies, offers an unembellished history filled with both daring escapes and harrowing endurance. The tales within are not mere stories; they are the authentic accounts of those who risked everything for their liberty. (Summary by MaryAnn) Complete list of recordings comprising this book The Underground Railroad, Part 1, The Underground Railroad, Part 2, The Underground Railroad, Part 3, The Underground Railroad, Part 4, The Underground Railroad, Part 5.
