What was the Underground Railroad? Cover Image Book Book

What was the Underground Railroad? / by Yona Zeldis McDonough ; illustrated by Lauren Mortimer.

McDonough, Yona Zeldis. (Author). Mortimer, Lauren, (illustrator.).

Summary:

"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 black-and-white illustrations throughout and a sixteen-page black-and-white photo insert, the Underground Railroad comes alive!"-- Provided by publisher.
