This enlightening study employs the tools of archaeology to uncover a new historical perspective on the Underground Railroad. Unlike previous histories of the Underground Railroad; which have focused on frightened fugitive slaves and their benevolent abolitionist accomplices; Cheryl LaRoche focuses instead on free African American communities; the crucial help they provided to individuals fleeing slavery; and the terrain where those flights to freedom occurred.
