Download From Midnight to Dawn: The Last Tracks of the Underground Railroad AudioBook Free
This extraordinary narrative offers a fresh perspective on the Underground Railroad as it traces the perilous journeys of fugitive ex girlfriend or boyfriend–slaves from the United States to free dark-colored settlements in Canada.
The Underground Railroad was the passage to freedom for many slaves, but it was rife with dangers. There have been dedicated conductors and safe properties, but also arduous nights in the mountains and times in threatening towns. For those who managed to get to Midnight (the code name directed at Detroit), the Detroit River became a River Jordan—and Canada became their land of Canaan, the Promised Land where they could live freely in dark-colored settlements under the safeguard of British regulation. Among these settlements was known as Dawn.
In prose abundant with depth and imagery, From Midnight to Dawn presents convincing portraits of the women and men who proven the Railroad, and of individuals who traveled it to find new lives in Canada. A number of the figures are well known, like Harriet Tubman and John Dark brown. But there are equally heroic, less familiar statistics here as well, like Mary Ann Shadd, who became the first dark-colored female magazine editor in THE UNITED STATES, and Osborne Perry Anderson, the only dark-colored survivor of the preventing at Harpers Ferry.
From Midnight to Dawn evokes the turmoil and controversies of that time period, discloses the compelling testimonies behind situations such as Harpers Ferry and the Religious Resistance, and introduces the reader to the real–life “Uncle Tom” who inspired Harriet Beecher Stowe’s Uncle Tom’s Cabin.
An extraordinary examination of a part of American background that transcends nationwide borders, From Midnight to Dawn will captivate viewers with its stories of expectation, courage, and a people’s determination to live equal under the law.
