'Churchill's portrayal of the ways in which the distinctively Southern culture of violence alienated Northern communities subject to invasion by slave catchers is exceptionally acute. Churchill has made a lasting contribution to the history of the complex phenomenon that was the Underground Railroad, the nation's first civil rights movement.' Fergus Bordewich, author of Bound for Canaan: The Underground Railroad and the War for the Soul of America 'Original, thoroughly and comprehensively researched, well written, and tightly argued.' Steven Lubet, author of The Colored Hero of Harpers Ferry 'A significant contribution to the literature on the Underground Railroad.' Graham Hodges, George Dorland Langdon, Jr Professor of History and Africana and Latin American Studies, Colgate University, New York
