Commemorating the underground railroad in Canada : the system of National Historic Sites of Canada.: R64-243/2001E-PDF
"The story of the Underground Railroad is the stuff of courage and compassion, heroes and history. From the 1820s to the 1860s, African American refugees worked with a secret network of supporters in order to escape to Canada. They arrived by the thousands. They came to Canadian communities from Halifax to Victoria, with the largest numbers arriving in what is now southwestern Ontario. In a new place, the refugees built a new home and helped lay the foundations of a new country"--Foreword.
