Tubman’s Underground Rail: Her Paths to Freedom. Guided by Harriet Tubman also known as the Moses of Her People. With Scenes from Her Life.  An Original Compilation with an emphasis on the life and thoughts of the infamous abolitionist Harriet Tubman."The way we managed to get away slaves from the Southern States, we used to have runners there, and when any one wanted to get away, he would go to one of these runners and tell him he wanted to make his escape, and the runner would ask if he could raise a party of 10 or 15. "If you can, you must raise a certain sum of money; and if all have not got money, some must pay for others until the money is raised, and then meet me at a certain place, with the amount of money. And now here is a whistle I will give you; set your party against a certain night, and walk three miles from the place where you started, to a certain place, and when you get there, if there is nobody within sight, or nobody around but your own party, you blow your whistle three times, and when I answer, come direct to the answer." Now the reader may have some understanding how the underground railroad is conducted."James WilliamsSlavery Books & African American History Courses & Resources
