DOC Ramayan by Valmiki Maharshi in History

Description

This book provides information about the Underground Railroad; a system developed to aid escaped slaves in their quest for freedom. It is incredible that it had to exist in this country; and individuals had to seek passage out of their own state in order to obtain their freedom. What remarkable people they must have been: to overcome the adversity and oppression of slavery and strive for freedom! Numerous color illustrations; a glossary; timeline; and a bibliography for further reading are included making this book accessible for younger readers and students. It also highlights locations in Frances Smith's hometown of New Milford; Connecticut that were used as part of the Underground Railroad.
