内容简介

Begun in earnest in the 1830s and named for the emerging system of steam railroads in the United States, the Underground Railroad moved hundreds of slaves northward each year through a network of safe houses connected by the efforts of blacks and whites who abhorred slavery. "It Happened on the Underground Railroad" recounts the stunning tales of rescue and reveals the stories of the people of aided slaves on their flight to freedom.
