Summary
This book was published in 1894. It deals with untold accounts of the Underground Railroad. From various states in the South to the Abolitionist Progressives and Quakers in the Northeastern part of the United States. Riots, lynchings, torture, escapes, triumphs, and tragedy are included in this work. Most of these accounts were from primary sources, newspapers, and interviews by former slaves years after their heroic and arduous journeys. It is hard as a Caucasian to understand what it was life to be an African American slave before the American Civil War.
H. U. Johnson took several years to write this book. He combed through six years of various newspapers, magazines, and interviews to compile this primary source history. I hope some it may be included in some textbooks soon. History is better when the political correctness and current narratives are not adhered to. The language is coarse and sometimes perverse but necessary to show the historical climate of the times.
