Description:
Judith Bentley tells the story of the American Underground Railroad through the friendship of Thomas Garrett, a white Quaker who operated a section of the railroad, and William Still, a free black man who lived in Philadelphia. Written for young adults, "Dear Friend" is illustrated with numerous contemporary drawings and engravings and written in a clear, clean style. Nonetheless, despite its intended audience, it doesn't sugarcoat the horrors of slavery; it movingly and eloquently depicts the strength and courage of those who ran the Underground Railroad and of the slaves who made the arduous journey to freedom.
