Where most works on the Underground Railroad focus on the people involved, this unique guide explores the intricacies of travel that allowed the \"conductors\" to carry out the tasks entrusted to them. It presents an accurate picture of just where the Underground Railroad was and how it operated, including routes and itineraries and connections between the various Railroad locations. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThrough information about these locations, the book takes readers from the beginnings of organized aid to fugitive slaves during the period following the American Revolution up to the Civil War. It delineates the possible routes fugitive slaves may have taken by identifying the rivers, canals, and railroads that were sometimes used. And it shows that a network, though decentralized and variable over time and place, truly was established among Underground Railroad participants.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tom Calarco, Cynthia Vogel, Kathryn Grover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0313381461\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780313381461\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Greenwood\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/03\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 452\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.42lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.20w x 1.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2011 pg. 100\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2011 pg. 53","brand":"Tom Calarco","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43913692283135,"sku":"9780313381461","price":103.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_6dcdfa3d-6e63-4d81-8d3d-24bf93be551c.jpg?v=1680621744","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/places-of-the-underground-railroad-tom-calarco-9780313381461","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
