Personal Review:
I have always been fascinated by the Underground
Railroad and the stories related to it. I think I read a book as a kid in which
someone stumbled across a secret passageway that was part of the network. I am
pretty sure it was a fiction story, but it got my attention none the less.In this brief read, there is insight offered regarding the history of the Railroad. A number of investigations have been done to explore the ‘stories’ from the ‘truth’ of those who experienced this during their life. I loved the historical aspects for this book. Makes me want to travel to see as many of the sites as possible.
Happy Reading!
*Note: This is my orange book for the #Rainbowthon!
