Fleeing for Freedom: Stories of the Underground Railroad as Told by Levi Coffin and William Still

In Fleeing for Freedom George and Willene Hendrick have chosen a broad range of stories to reflect the strategies, tactics, emotions, 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.
