"A Thousand Miles to Freedom is a chapter in North American history that, until now, has never really been told. And what better way to tell it than in the carefully documented words of the escaped slaves themselves."

- The late Hon. Dr. Lincoln Alexander,

Lt. Governor of Ontario (Ret.)

This is the story of the Underground Railway, told in the words

of slaves and others who were an essential part of its story.

"A Thousand Miles to Freedom" documents the experiences of

slaves who made the perilous journey to the safety of Canada

via the Underground Railway. Using historical transcripts and

archival photographs we learn what it was like to experience

their terrifying and dangerous journeys over mountains, across

lakes and through vast forests, braving the cold of winter in

summer clothing - all for the right to be free.
