It was my good fortune to lend a helping hand to the weary travelers fleeing from the land of bondage, reflects William Still, a pivotal figure often recognized as the Father of the Underground Railroad. In a poignant letter, Horace Greeley noted the significance of the escape of fugitives from slavery, emphasizing the romance that has shaped American history. For over 14 years, Still dedicated himself to aiding countless enslaved individuals on their journey to freedom in Canada, meticulously documenting their stories and experiences at his Philadelphia “station.” His remarkable work culminated in the publication of The Underground Railroad in 1871, derived from his extensive records and diaries. In this captivating series, Librivox volunteers bring to life the narratives from the 1878 edition, preserving the legacies of those who sought liberation. Join us as we delve into these incredible stories of courage and resilience.Copyright Biographies 2.0 Science Sciences sociales
