Welcome to Litsy!

nonfiction - published in 2013. 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.
