Pages : 206
Book Description
Excerpt from Early Settlement and Growth of Western Iowa or Reminiscences Consequently the material herewith presented appeared in T he Tabor Beacon, the weekly paper of his home town, in 1891. This naturally led to verification, corrections and additions, which added much to the value of the work. The re vision was carefully made by my father and the following is the result. He corresponded with some publishing houses to learn the cost of publi cation, but hesitated, partly from characteristic modesty, I believe, to undertake the work. After his death in 1894, his children thought to publish the work with a sketch of his life, but hitherto a favorable opportunity has not presented itself.

The Underground Railroad
Author: Mary Ellen Snodgrass
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317454154
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 1918
Book Description
The culmination of years of research in dozens of archives and libraries, this fascinating encyclopedia provides an unprecedented look at the network known as the Underground Railroad - that mysterious "system" of individuals and organizations that helped slaves escape the American South to freedom during the years before the Civil War. In operation as early as the 1500s and reaching its peak with the abolitionist movement of the antebellum period, the Underground Railroad saved countless lives and helped alter the course of American history. This is the most complete reference on the Underground Railroad ever published. It includes full coverage of the Railroad in both the United States and Canada, which was the ultimate destination of many of the escaping slaves. "The Underground Railroad: An Encyclopedia of People, Places, and Operations" explores the people, places, writings, laws, and organizations that made this network possible. More than 1,500 entries detail the families and personalities involved in the operation, and sidebars extract primary source materials for longer entries. This encyclopedia features extensive supporting materials, including maps with actual Underground Railroad escape routes, photos, a chronology, genealogies of those involved in the operation, a listing of Underground Railroad operatives by state or Canadian province, a "passenger" list of escaping slaves, and primary and secondary source bibliographies.
