   Does anyone have a recommendation for a book that covers the Underground Railroad, specifically how it worked logistically?

     I get the feeling you might also be interested in: Resistance: A Woman's Journal of Struggle and Defiance in Occupied France by Agnes Humbert

     I’m not in America, but a search found this book:

     The Underground Railroad
     by KERRY WALTERS

     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.

     I recommend: Harriet Tubman: The Road to Freedom by Catherine Clinton.

     My hometown, Wheaton Illinois, was a major layover for the Underground Railroad.
