In a companion volume to his highly regarded Underground Railroad in Pennsylvania, William J. Switala focuses on the escaped-slave network in the eastern border states of Delaware and Maryland, as well as the region that became West Virginia in 1863. Using fresh and extensive research, Switala fills a glaring void in the historical record of this important topic. Full of vivid anecdotes and lucid reconstructions, this book brings the Underground Railroad to life for the modern reader.

William J. Switala is professor of education at Duquesne University in Pittsburgh. In addition to numerous articles, translations, and reviews, he has written two textbooks on Pennsylvania history. He is a widely known speaker on the Underground Railroad and author of Underground Railroad in Pennsylvania (0811716295).
