2. Printed Collections of Underground Railroad Incidents

There are a few volumes that supply us with numerous illustrations of
the Underground Railroad in operation. These books are not general
treatises on the underground system, but give us an insight into the
clandestine work of several limited localities; they are important because
they exhibit the methods and devices of operators, show the sacrifices
made by them in behalf of the midnight seekers after liberty, and
supplement with valuable matter the unpublished reminiscences. In
addition to the well-known books of Still, Smedley and Coffin, the author
has found the three smaller, and hitherto unquoted books by W. M.
Mitchell, E. M. Pettit and H. U. Johnson, to be useful.
