Description: Underground Railroad on Long Island : Friends in Freedom, Paperback by Velsor, Kathleen G., ISBN 1609497708, ISBN-13 9781609497705, Brand New, Free shipping in the US Discover Long Island's pivotal role in the Underground Railroad and the stories of the brave men and women whose legacy lives on today. From the arrival of the Quakers in the seventeenth century to the enforcement of the Emancipation Proclamation, Long Island played an important role in the Underground Railroad's work to guide slaves to freedom. In Old Westbury, the Post family established a major stop on the freedom trail with the help of an escaped Virginia slave. In Jericho, families helped escaping slaves to freedom from the present-day Maine Maid Inn. Elias Hicks helped free 191 slaves himself and worked to create Underground Railroad safe houses in many northeastern cities. Some former slaves even established permanent communities across the island. Visit the safe houses--many of which are still standing today--and explore the journey of runaway slaves on Long Island.
