It's a book on the Underground Railroad through the southern tier area and there are several detailed stories of Allegany County residents who assisted fugitive slaves.
I strongly recommend it to individuals who are not only interested in Allegany County history, but also would like insight on the amazing underground railroad network. It is available at the Belmont library. (& most local libraries of the county) Ted Seeley-1987 |
