A 'conductor' for the railroad, Still was the son of a fugitive slave himself and a campaigner for social reform. This abridged edition of 'The Underground Railroad' brings to light the terrors experienced by the thousands of African-Americans who sought a better life in the northern states of America and Canada. INcredibly moving, it offers a fascinating insight into this vital aspect of nineteenth-century American history.
