Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very good. xi, [3], 272, [2] pages. Endpaper map. Frontis illustration. Includes Preface: "One More River to Cross"; Introduction: Freedom's New Direction; Wilberforce; Dawn and "Uncle Tom"; Chatham; Mary Ann Shadd and he Provincial Freeman; Henry Bibb; The Elgin Settle…ment and the Buxton Mission; Niagara Region; Detroit Frontier; The Civil War and Reconstruction Years; Afterword; Acknowledgments; Time Line; Bibliography; and Index. Between the War of 1812 and the Civil War, tens of thousands of African Americans (especially runaway slaves) fled to Canada in search of freedom, equality, and a better life. In this book, Jacqueline Tobin rediscovers this hidden but important episode in both nation's histories, and provides a masterful retelling in clear and moving language. Jacqueline Tobin is the author of From Midnight to Dawn: The Last Tracks of the Underground Railroad, Hidden in Plain View: A Secret Story of Quilts and the Underground Railroad and The Tao of Women. She is also a teacher, collector, and writer of women's stories. The work looks at the northernmost settlement in what is now Ontario that resulted from the migrations on the Underground Railroad. She includes portraits of a number of Americans who settled either temporarily or permanently north of the U.S. border, including William Parker, Henry Bibb, and Harriet Tubman. A reviewer for Publishers Weekly called the book "accessible and fluidly written." Michael Taylor, writing for the Richmond Times-Dispatch, commented: "The enthusiasm that Tobin and Jones have for this subject really comes through in their writing." Hettie Jones (née Cohen; born in 1934) is an American poet. She has written twenty-three books that include a memoir of the Beat Generation, three volumes of poetry, and publications for children and young adults, including The Trees Stand Shining and Big Star Fallin' Mama: Five Women in Black Music. Jones published her memoir, How I Became Hettie Jones, in 1990. She detailed the experiences of growing up among a Jewish family and community, being part of the Beat Generation, her early writing, and the social difficulties of being in an interracial marriage and raising biracial children. In 1999, Jones won the Poetry Society of America's Norma Farber First Book Award for her first volume of poetry titled Drive. Jones is a longtime editor and has taught poetry, fiction, and memoir at many universities, including Penn State University, NYU, the 92nd Street Y, University of Wyoming, and Parsons School of Design. Derived from a Kirkus review: The stories of the settlements in Canada founded and developed by fugitive slaves from the United States who traveled along the Underground Railroad and gained freedom-and even prosperity-at a variety of northern termini. Tobin and Jones tell some compelling stories of people both well known (Harriet Tubman) and little-known (Isaac Rice), all involved in various ways with the establishment of Canadian ports of refuge for the more than 30,000 who fled slavery before the Civil War. Although the authors struggle for scholarly impartiality, their admiration for many of their characters is evident on nearly every page. Tobin and Jones pause continually to offer necessary background-the history of Canada (with an emphasis on its anti-slavery culture), of Detroit, of Abolitionism, of the Civil War and Reconstruction-even of Niagara Falls. But their focus remains on places and people much less known. We learn about the Canadian communities of Wilberforce, Dawn (now Dresden), Chatham and Buxton, both the biggest and most successful. Along the way the authors present the biographies of community founders and others of prominence. These include the Rev. William King, who established with 15 of his former slaves the settlement of Elgin (known later as Buxton); Richard Pierpoint, a black veteran of the War of 1812 who settled in the Niagara area; and Eliza Harris, who may have been the model for Stowe's Eliza in Uncle Tom's Cabin.
