Through extensive research of church records, newspaper accounts, and family histories, the story of the Underground Railroad for slaves in the mid-nineteenth century is documented in this book. The authors have successfully captured the role Lawrence County, and in particular the city of New Castle, PA played in this turbulent, violent period in American History.
