Produktinformationen zu „From Midnight to Dawn “
A compelling history of the Underground Railroad brings together a series of portraits of the men and women who established the escape organization for runaway slaves, as well as the people who traveled it to find new lives in Canada, following the dangerous journeys of fugitive former slaves to Detroit and on to safety at African-American settlements north of the border.
Klappentext zu „From Midnight to Dawn “
From Midnight to Dawn presents compelling portraits of the men and women who established the Underground Railroad and traveled it to find new lives in Canada. Evoking the turmoil and controversies of the time, Tobin illuminates the historic events that forever connected American and Canadian history by giving us the true stories behind well-known figures such as Harriet Tubman and John Brown. She also profiles lesser-known but equally heroic figures such as Mary Ann Shadd, who became the first black female newspaper editor in North America, and Osborne Perry Anderson, the only black survivor of the fighting at Harpers Ferry. An extraordinary examination of a part of American history, From Midnight to Dawn will captivate readers with its tales of hope, courage, and a people's determination to live equally under the law.
