“No one knows where the term Underground Railroad came from--there were no trains or tracks, only "conductors" who helped escaping slaves to freedom. Including real stories about "passengers" on the "Railroad," this book chronicles slaves' close calls with bounty hunters, exhausting struggles on the road, and what they sacrificed for freedom.

Hands down my favorite elementary and middle school non-fiction read so far. I can’t say enough about this incredible series. The Who Was, What Was series has become hugely popular in the many classrooms I have visited. There are new books added to the series all the time and it seems as if the students can’t get enough of them.
In this particular book, McDonough highlights a very important piece of American history written appropriately for grade levels 3-6. With talented black and white pencil illustrations, fantastic and intriguing real life photo’s, maps and timelines, the reader immediately is pulled back in history as the past comes to life.
She helps students not only understand the history about slavery and the key people who helped shape the Underground Railroad but also the need for the Underground Railroad. To help visualize the areas and escape routes slaves took to reach freedom, detailed maps are illustrated. The book is impeccably and meticulously researched and jam packed full of historical facts and details.
Separated into Chapters such as The Slave Trade, Life on a Plantation, Abolition, Path to Freedom, etc.
