No one knows where the term Underground Railroad came from -- there were no trains or tracks, only "conductors" who helped to escape 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. With 80 black-and-white illustrations throughout and a sixteen-page black-and-white photo insert, the Underground Railroad comes alive!

Underground Railroad

Livro documental que conta a história da criação e operação da famosa underground railroad (rota de fuga utilizada pelos negros durante o período de escravidão nos Estados Unidos).
Juntamente a isso o libro detalha várias histórias de fugas de escravos do Sul para o norte do país.
Livro curto e interessante.
