Front line of freedom: African Americans and the forging of the Underground Railroad in the Ohio Valley
Year: 2004
Type: book-review
Abstract: Antislavery from the Bottom-UpBold, imaginative, and important, Griffler's short masterpiece will join the front line of classics on the antislavery movement.Focusing on the north bank of the Ohio River, Griffler is the first person to do an exhaustive regional study of African-American participation in the Underground Railroad.Until I read Griffler, I thought that James and Lois Horton had done all that was possible in this area, but I was very wrong.[1]Griffler uncovers new evidence, makes innovative interpretations, and is wonderful at weaving shards of evidence
