Underground Railroad: in Pennsylvania

A revised and expanded history of Pennsylvania’s role in the Underground Railroad, featuring escape route maps and eyewitness accounts.

Organized in antebellum America to help enslaved people escape to freedom, the Underground Railroad was cloaked in secrecy and operated at great peril to everyone involved. The system was extremely active in Pennsylvania, with routes running through cities and towns in all parts of the state. This revised second edition of Underground Railroad in Pennsylvania retraces the routes with detailed maps, discusses the large city networks, identifies the houses and sites where escapees found refuge, and records the names of the people who risked their lives to support the operation.
