No one knows where the term Underground Railroad came from--there were no trains or tracks, only "e;conductors"e; who helped escaping slaves to freedom. Including real stories about "e;passengers"e; on the "e;Railroad,"e; 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!
