Book cover of The Underground Railroad by KERRY WALTERS showing slaves fleeing on a horse. Full of true stories more dramatic than any fiction, offers a fresh, revealing look at the efforts of hundreds of dedicated persons—white & black, men & women, from all walks of life—to help slave fugitives find freedom in the decades leading up to the Civil War. It provides the richest portrayal yet of the first large scale act of interracial collaboration in the United States, mapping out the complex network of routes & safe stations that made escape from slavery in the American South possible.
