Fleeing For Freedom

Stories Of The Underground Railroad As Told By Levi Coffin And William Still

EDITED BY GEORGE & WILLENE HENDRICK_

Brief Description:
Culled from the reminiscences of two abolitionists who worked on the Underground Railroad, these stories are firsthand accounts of a number of perilous escapes by slaves and the rescue efforts of a handful of committed `station masters.' .Quiet heroes such as Levi Coffin, a successful Quaker merchant, and William Still, a free black man..did history a great service by diligently chronicling their experiences. By selecting a handful of these narratives and placing them into proper historical context, the editors are able to present a contemporary analysis of two valuable primary sources.-Bookllist
