In operation as early as the 1700s and reaching its peak with the abolitionist movement of the antebellum period, the Underground Railroad saved countless lives and helped alter the course of American history. 520 8 This is the most complete reference on the Underground Railroad ever published. It includes full coverage of the Railroad in both the United States and Canada, which was the ultimate destination of many of the escaping slaves. The Underground Railroad: An Encyclopedia of People, Places, and Operations explores the people, places, writings, laws, and organizations that made this network possible. Entries detail the families and personalities involved in the operation, and sidebars extract primary source materials for longer entries. This encyclopedia features extensive supporting materials, including maps with actual Underground Railroad escape routes, photos, a chronology, genealogies of those involved in the operation, a listing of Underground Railroad operatives by state or Canadian province, a "passenger" list of escaping slaves, and primary and secondary source bibliographies. 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 588 Description based on title page of print version. 590 Credo Reference. 590 Credo Reference|bGeneral Reference 650 0 Underground Railroad|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85139597|vEncyclopedias.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh99001614 650 0 Antislavery movements|zUnited States|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh94008685|xHistory|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99005024|vEncyclopedias. |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99001614 650 0 Abolitionists|zUnited States|vBiography|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2007100460 |vEncyclopedias.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh99001614 650 0 Fugitive slaves|zUnited States|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85052242|xHistory|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99005024|vEncyclopedias. |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99001614 650 0 Slavery|zUnited States|xHistory|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85123330|vEncyclopedias.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99001614 650 7 Underground Railroad.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1160987 650 7 Antislavery movements.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast /810800 650 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/958235 650 7 Abolitionists.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/794478 650 7 Fugitive slaves.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 935940 650 7 Slavery.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1120426 651 7 United States.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1204155 655 0 Electronic books. 655 7 Encyclopedias.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1423798 655 7 Biographies.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1919896 655 7 Encyclopedias.|2lcgft|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ genreForms/gf2014026092 655 7 Biographies.|2lcgft|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ genreForms/gf2014026049 710 2 Credo Reference (Firm)|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ names/no2007075121 776 08 |iPrint version:|z0765680939|z9780765680938|w(DLC) 2007009199|h2 v. : ill., maps 856 40 |zOnline eBook via Credo Reference.
