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.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTom Calarco\u003c\/b\u003e is a teacher, lecturer, and author of three books on the history of the Underground Railroad. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eCynthia Vogel\u003c\/b\u003e is a retired educator and member of the adjunct faculty with Edison Community College in Piqua, OH. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eKathryn Grover\u003c\/b\u003e is an independent researcher, writer, and editor. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eRae Hallstrom\u003c\/b\u003e is an award-winning writer, Ameriku artist, former radio talk show host, patent-holding inventor, and engineer. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eSharron L.
