Bound for Canaan: The Epic Story of the Underground Railroad, America's First Civil Rights Movement by Fergus M. Bordewich

Wow. I don't think I could say enough great things about this book. I'll admit I didn't know much about this subject before picking up this book, but he goes into great detail about all those that helped make the Underground Railroad what it was, whether they were black or white, slave or free, or Northerners or Southerners. I've read other books by Mr. Bordewich and he just has a really great writing style that draws you in. Must read!
