ZigmanThis is a riveting read with descriptive details about people who broke away from their chains of slavery and made their way; often with help from people who were part of the elusive "underground railroad"; to a life of freedom in Canada. It is both heart rending that any human being could be subjected to the horrors of slavery - sometimes with horrible brutality used to "keep them in line"; and uplifting that so many managed to escape. It is incredible that anyone who is part of the human race could and would treat other humans in such despicable ways - and justify themselves in doing so. It is also heart warming that a segment of the northern states population were sympathetic to their cause; and enabled them to be free human beings for the rest of their lives.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. A wonderful compilation of personal accounts of runaway slaves that passed ...By sharron francisA wonderful compilation of personal accounts of runaway slaves that passed through the shelter of William Still; son of slaves and an important cog in assisting those who had escaped slavery. This is an extremely important collection because it was first printed after the Civil War and before Reconstruction-otherwise it may have been lost-this is a reprinting. Bad masters/mistresses; okay masters/mistresses; these people just wanted to be free; but aside from the dangers; they had to possibly leave behind elders who needed them; dependent children; ailing spouses; etc. You will learn a lot from this read!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
