Book excerpt: This account of fugitive slaves traveling through Connecticut “includes many stories from descendants of the underground agents . . . a definitive work.” —Hartford Courant Here are the engrossing facts about one of the least-known aspects of Connecticut’s history—the rise, organization, and operations of the Underground Railroad, over which fugitive slaves from the South found their way to freedom. Drawing his data from published sources and, perhaps more importantly, from the still-existing oral tradition of descendants of Underground agents, Horatio Strother tells the detailed story in this book, originally published in 1962. He traces the routes from entry points such as New Haven harbor and the New York state line, through important crossroads like Brooklyn and Farmington. Revealing the dangers fugitives faced, the author also identifies the high-minded lawbreakers who operated the system—farmers and merchants, local officials and judges, at least one United States Senator, and many dedicated ministers of the Gospel. These narratives are set against the larger background of the development of slavery and abolitionism in America—conversations still relevant today.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Underground Railroad Because few contemporary documents concerning the Underground Railroad have survived, most of the sources are autobiographical accounts written years after the events occurred. The abolitionist memoirs are based on recollections of members of a much-reviled minority writing after they had seen their cause tri umph and their years of loyal service vindicated. While they vary in authenticity, most tend to relate events from one point of view. Little or nothing was written about the ingenious and daring escape plans carried out by the fugitives themselves. The exception was The Underground Railroad written in 1872 by William Still, an African American. He published numerous docu ments, including his own interviews with fugitives who were going through Philadelphia, and focused attention on what he referred to as the self-emancipated cham pions of his race.

Download or read book The Underground Railroad from Slavery to Freedom Classic Reprint written by Wilbur H. Siebert and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-13 with total page 586 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Underground Railroad From Slavery to Freedom The book is practically divided into four parts: the Rail road itself (chapters ii, v); the railroad hands (chapters iii, iv, vi); the freight (chapters vii, viii); and political relations and effects (chapters ix, x, xi). Perhaps one of the most interesting contributions to our knowledge of the subject is the account of the beginnings of the system of secret and systematic aid to fugitives. Lite evidence goes to show that there was organization in Pennsylvania before 1800 and in Ohio soon after 1815. The book thus becomes a much-needed guide to information about the obscure anti-slavery movement which preceded William Lloyd Gar rison, and to some degree prepared the way for him; and it will prove a source for the historian of the influence of the West in national development. As yet we know too little of the anti-slavery movement which so profoundly stirred the W'estern states, including Kentucky and Missouri, and which came closely into contact With the actual conditions of slavery. As Professor Siebert points out, most of the early abolitionists in the West were former slaveholders or sons of slaveholders.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Underground Railroad as It Was Conducted By, the Anti-Slavery League: Including Many Thrilling Encounters Between Those Aiding, the Slaves to Escape and Those Trying, to Recapture Them In writing a history of the so-called Underground Railroad, the author is controlled by a desire to be just to the anti-slavery people who were aiding the slaves to gain their freedom, and to the pro-slavery people who were hunting for runaway slaves to return them to their masters, all of whom were active in this work in all the country bordering on the Ohio river during the early fifties.
