North Star to Freedom : the story of the Underground Railroad

Gorrell, Gena K.


Selected Bibliography. A history written in tears -- The dreadful passage -- Building a world on Slavery -- The wind of change -- Runaway! -- The railroad that wasn't -- "Liberty or Death" -- The Aint-Slavery Crusade -- Fiery words and fiery deeds -- New life, New land -- Free at Last!. It was called the Underground Railroad, but it had no engines and no trains. It had stations but no tracks. Its passengers traveled without tickets, and its conductors blew no whistles....The escaping slaves might be dressed in disguises, or given farm tools to carry. They might be hidden in wagonloads of goods, or even inside secret compartments built into carriages or wagons. Because people were sometimes caught and searched, messages were often passed in code. Runaways were referred to as packages or merchandise; a conductor or stationmaster who had a message that "by Tuesday you should receive a shipment of four large kegs of dark ale and one small one" would prepare for the arrival of four adults and a child.
