Get on Board: The Story of the Underground Railroad Book

This book is a nonfiction that discusses about the loosely organized network of people and places that helped slaves run away & seek freedom in the north & Canada that was known as the Underground Railroad. There are a few names that I recognize from my nonfiction reading and I've heard about the Underground Railroad a few times but never actually learn or read about the actual thing. I'm glad that I found this book randomly in the library because now I got the basic ideal of what the "railroad" they're talking about. I've also learned what inspired the Uncle Tom's Cabin and what it's implication in the literature world at the time of the publication.
