Description
Have you ever experienced a train ride? There are stations, conductors, and terminals. This vocabulary was all adopted by those operating the Underground Railroad. Students will learn about the first actual trains in America, the different routes slaves used to navigate their freedom, the dangers, and the witness of God through individuals along the way. Slavery is a sin, and this is expounded on within these pages. This is a great introductory biography to many individuals that may spark further interest in study. Simple black and white illustrations are presented throughout, maps, a timeline, and work cited in the back. This little book will showcase to students what it means to love our neighbor as ourselves. 90 pgs, pb. ~Rebecca
