Before the Civil War, there was a crack team of abolitionists who used
quilts and signal lanterns to guide enslaved people to freedom. RIGHT?
WRONG! The truth is, the Underground Railroad wasn't very organized, and

With a mix of sidebars, illustrations, photos, and graphic panels,
acclaimed author Kate Messner and coauthor and Brown Bookshelf
contributor Gwendolyn Hooks deliver the whole truth about the
Underground Railroad.
