Pat Perrin has compiled a fascinating collection of primary and secondary source materials from a variety of perspective on this period in America's history. Excerpts include the dramatic escapes of Henry Brown, Frederick Douglass, and William and Ellen craft; David Walker's Appeal; narrative of Harriet Tubman; text from the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850; and several accounts of fugitives who found safety in Canada.
