From Homicide to Slavery: Studies in American Culture
I found this book extremely interesting. The timeline begins at the War of 1812 and continues thru the Civil War and after. It tells the story of tens of thousands of African Americans (especially runaway slaves as they fled to Canada in search of freedom, equality and a better life. this novel rediscovers the important episode in both nations' histories and provides a masterful retelling in clear and moving language. She does a masterful job of research and includes many individuals we've all heard of-Harriet Tubman and John Brown. But there are equally heroic, less familiar figures here as well, like Mary Ann Shadd, who became the first black female newspaper editor in North America and Osborne Perry Anderson, the only black survivor of the fighting at Harper's Ferry. This book helps to clarify the people, places and actions of people who made the "underground railroad" such an impactful part of our nations history.
