Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

A new edition of William Still's The Underground Rail Road, first published in 1872. This is a newly reset edition in two volumes. The UGRR is filled with daring adventures and powerful true stories. These gripping accounts read like nineteenth-century spy novels, except they are real narratives drawn from one of the darkest chapters in American history. While Still's main goal in publishing them was to help families reunite after slavery ended, the stories also reveal the courage, intelligence, and resourcefulness of those who risked everything to escape bondage. Readers are introduced to Still's fellow Underground Railroad workers-conductors and operatives who helped guide people to freedom. These firsthand accounts offer a deeper understanding of what the enslaved endured and the extraordinary lengths they went to in pursuit of liberty.
