"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.

In a new place, the refugees built a new home and helped lay the foundations of a new country"--Foreword. Canada. Parks Canada. National Historic Sites of Canada. Historic sites Canada.
