A great number of these passageways were concentrated throughout the state's east central region, particularly the inland channels of Coshocton, Holmes and Guernsey Counties and the now-famous canal route, a major conduit winding through Tuscarawas and Stark Counties. Similarly, runaways sought refuge in the hills and valleys of Harrison County, as well as in the Quaker stronghold of Columbiana County. Using the letters of Wilbur H. Seibert, along with contemporary photographs of area safe houses, Janice VanHorne-Lane provides an intimate account of east central Ohio's profound contributions to the Underground Railroad and its mission, freedom for all.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Janice Vanhorne-Lane\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1596292466\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781596292468\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e History Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/29\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.48lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.20d","brand":"Janice Vanhorne-Lane","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43938541175039,"sku":"9781596292468","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_4f0b72e9-09e0-464f-9c2c-9826c24bffff.jpg?v=1681436294","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/safe-houses-and-the-underground-janice-vanhorne-lane-9781596292468","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
