Requests:  0 Summary:  The Underground Railroad was the passage to freedom for many slaves, but it was rife with dangers. While there were dedicated conductors and safe houses, there were also arduous nights in the mountains and days in threatening towns. For those who made it to Midnight, the code name given to Detroit, the Detroit River became their Jordan. And Canada became the Promised Land where they could live freely in black settlements, one known as Dawn, under the protection of British law. This book presents the men and women who established the Railroad and the people who traveled it. Some are well known, like Harriet Tubman and John Brown, but there are equally heroic, less familiar figures here as well. The book evokes the turmoil and controversies of the time, including the furor over Uncle Tom's Cabin, congressional confrontations in Washington, and fierce disputes among black settlers in Canada.--From publisher description.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 973.7115 To Transit   Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library LLH Closed Stacks 973.7115 To Checked out 05/08/2024 Add Copy to MyList Kahuku P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 973.7115 To Checked out 05/10/2024 Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 973.7115 To Checked In   Add Copy to MyList
