The Underground Railroad Records

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Underground Railroad Records chronicle the stories and methods of some 649 slaves who escaped to freedom via the Underground Railroad. William Still, known as the father of the Underground Railroad, used his detailed documents regarding those he escaped in the Underground Railroad Records. While working with the Pennsylvania Anti-Slavery Society, Still worked with a fugative slave whom, he eventually realized, was his long-lost brother. He later then published a book, The Underground Railroad, based on the interviews he made with the fugitives he sheltered.
