Requests:  0 Summary:  "The traces of the Underground Railroad hide in plain sight: a great church in Philadelphia; a humble old house backing up to the New Jersey Turnpike; an industrial outbuilding in Ohio. Over the course of four years, David Goodrich rode his bicycle 3,000 miles east of the Mississippi to travel the routes of the Underground Railroad and delve into the history and stories in the places where they happened. He followed the most famous of conductors, Harriet Tubman, from where she was enslaved in Maryland, on the eastern shore, all the way to her family sanctuary at a tiny chapel in Ontario, Canada. Traveling South, he rode from New Orleans, where the enslaved were bought and sold, through Mississippi and the heart of the Delta Blues. As we pedal along with him, Goodrich brings us to the Borderland along the Ohio River, a kind of no-mans-land between North and South in the years before the Civil War. Here, slave hunters roamed both banks of the river, trying to catch people as they fled for freedom. We travel to Oberlin, Ohio, a town that staunchly defended freedom seekers, embodied in the life of Lewis Leary, who was lost in the fires of Harpers Ferry, but his spirit was reborn in the Harlem Renaissance. On Freedom Road enables us to see familiar places--New York and Philadelphia, New Orleans and Buffalo--in a very different light: from the vantage point of desperate people seeking to outrun the reach of slavery. Join in this journey to find the heroes and stories, both known and hidden, of the Underground Railroad"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Art, Music & Recreation 796.60973 Go Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 796.60973 Goodrich Checked In Add Copy to MyList CLOSED TEMPORARILY: Honokaa Public Library Adult Nonfiction 796.60973 Goodrich Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Nonfiction 796.60973 Go Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kihei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 796.60973 Go Checked In Add Copy to MyList McCully-Moiliili Public Library Adult Biography B Goodrich Go Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 796.60973 Go Checked In Add Copy to MyList
