Description

The success of the Underground Railroad depended on the participation of sympathizers in hundreds of areas throughout the country, each operating independently.

Each area was distinctive both geographically and societally.

This work focuses on the contributions of people in the Adirondack region, including their collaboration with operatives from Albany to New York City.

With more than 10 years of research, the author has been able to take what for years in northern New York was considered akin to legend and transform it into history.

Abolitionist newspapers--such as Friend of Man, Liberator, Pennsylvania Freeman, Emancipator, National Anti-Slavery Standard, and the little known Albany Patriot--that were published weekly from 1841 to 1848, as well as materials from local archives, were utilized.

The book has extensive maps, photographs and appendices; key contributors to the cause are identified, abolition meetings and conventions are described, and maps of the Underground Railroad stations by county are provided.
