What Was the Underground Railroad?

What Was the Underground Railroad?

What Was the Underground Railroad?

Did you know?

It was a railroad with no trains or tracks

Trips on this railroad always headed north

It was the route to freedom for thousands of slaves

No one knows where the term Underground Railroad came from–there were no trains or tracks, only “conductors” who helped escaping slaves to freedom. Including real stories about “passengers” on the “Railroad,” this book chronicles slaves’ close calls with bounty hunters, exhausting struggles on the road, and what they sacrificed for freedom. With 80 black-and-white illustrations throughout and a sixteen-page black-and-white photo insert, the Underground Railroad comes alive!

By Yona Zeldis McDonough and Who HQ
Illustrated by Lauren Mortimer
