(2) 4-6 Illustrated by James Ransome. After examining pre-Revolutionary War efforts by slaves to escape, the authors recount several escape stories, both familiar and lesser known. A strength of the book is the discussion of the increased role of archaeology to both support and question longstanding legends surrounding the Railroad. The straightforward narrative is highly readable, and its unsolved-mystery aspects will engage young readers. Bib., ind.
