Soft cover. Etat : Very Good. Clean, tight, unmarked; bump to bottom inside corner with associated creases; otherwise spine straight and uncreased; very minimal wear; This, richly illustrated book, examines the urban connection of the clandestine system of secret routes, safe houses and "conductors." Not only does it trace the story of the Underground Railroad itself and how people courageously made the trip north to Canada and freedom, This volume offers new insights into the rich heritage of the Black people who made Toronto their home before the Civil War. It portrays life in the city during the 19th century from the time of slavery, who some of Toronto's white citizen owned slaves, and looks at the world of mid-century Black Torontonians in a considerable detail.
