The Underground Railroad  |
| William Still (1819 - 1902) |
The Underground Railroad says of itself: "An authentic record of the wonderful hardships, hairbreadth escapes, and death struggles which mark the track from slavery to freedom in the United States." The Underground Railroad was a network of secret routes helping African Americans escape to 'free states' or Canada. Between 1810 and 1850 the Railroad may have moved as many 100,000 people to freedom. |

While the novel satirizes society in early 19th-century England, Thackeray meant the book to be not only entertaining but also instructive. |
