Read about Peter Still, a former slave who came to the Philadelphia Antislavery Society in search of his family, only to discover that the man sitting in front of him was his brother. Meet the individuals who may have inspired characters in the novels Uncle Tom's Cabin and Beloved. And experience the heart-pounding fear of a man who mailed himself north.It happened in series.Underground RailroadAnecdotesFugitive slavesUnited StatesAnecdotesUnderground RailroadFugitive slaves973.7/115Wagner Tricia Martineau1210166MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910813850903321It happened on the underground railroad3934712UNINA
