This volume is the largest in-depth collection of profiles of those individuals involved in the spiriting of black slaves to freedom in the northern states and Canada beginning around 1800 and lasting to the early Civil War years. One hundred entries introduce people who had a significant role in the rescuing, harboring, or conducting of the fugitives - from abolitionists, evangelical ministers, Quakers, philanthropists, lawyers, judges, physicians, journalists, educators, to novelists, feminists, and barbers - as well as notable runaways. The selections are geographically representational of the broad railroad network. The book presents authoritative information gathered from the latest research and established sources, many of them period publications. Numerous sidebars complement the entries, and a timeline, illustrations, and map help put the profiles into context.
