- W2314548314 abstract "THE so-called Underground Railroad, as a phase of our antislavery history, has thus far been subjected to very limited critical study. Henry Wilson speaks of the romantic interest attaching to the mass of incidents which makes up the printed sources on the subject, but for some reason the romance of this themenot outdone by the reality disclosed by investigation has been insufficient to attract extended research. There are only four books dealing specifically with the subject: namely, the Remin1niscences of Levi Coffin; Underground Railr-oad Records, by William Still; the Undierground Railroad in Cliestcr and tle AXeig/zborinog Counhties of Penzsylvania, by R.

Written evidence of complicity was for the most part conscientiously avoided, and the occasional tell-tale letter or the rare fragment of a memorandum now to be found, bears unmistakable signs of intended secrecy. The proper names are blotted out, or a cipher is employed. The history of the Underground Railroad must be written, therefore, if it be written at all, out of the recollections of abolitionists as the main source of information. Underground operations practically ceased with the beginning of the Civil War. In view of the lapse of time, the reason for" @default.
