This engaging audiobook narrates the courageous efforts of fugitive slaves and the antislavery activists who risked everything to escort them to freedom via the Underground Railroad in New York. Highlighting little-known figures like Sydney Howard Gay, Louis Napoleon, and Charles B. Ray, the story reveals their clandestine collaborations, which helped over 3,000 fugitives escape between 1830 and 1860. With fresh evidence and detailed accounts, Eric Foner transforms this pivotal chapter into a profound historical narrative that explores the intersection of personal bravery and systemic oppression.
