A Final River to Cross by Gretchen And Dennis Duling
The second edition of A Final River to Cross: The Underground Railroad at Youngstown, New York offers further proof of the existence of, support for, and operation of the Underground Railroad in Western New York. The revised and enhanced second edition contains newly discovered primary source materials and includes an extensive bibliography and a comprehensive index. It clearly demonstrates the connection of Youngstown, New York to regional and national UGR networks, and tells the compelling stories of the Village and its citizens--an agent, boaters, ferrymen--who were linked with other persons and villages in a broader network. Seven accounts document eighteen fugitive slaves who made the perilous crossing to freedom in Canada from Youngstown. The final chapter is an Underground Railroad database based on the Wellman Scale. This thoroughly documented book is exactly the kind of local and regional study that UGR experts currently recommend and fills a gap in research on the Underground Railroad in New York State. Thoroughly researched, with solid information, this book explores the fascinating people, places, and stories relating to the Underground Railroad in Youngstown, NY.| SKU | Unavailable |
