The Underground Railroad Ran Through My House Ruth Deters First edition

Ruth Deters discovered her ante-bellum home was an Underground Railroad Station after her son hid from a babysitter in a secret room. Curiosity about the home's builder thrust her into a lifetime of research that ultimately led to the discovery of additional Underground Railroad Stations in the region. Numerous pictures, quotes from letters, journals and old newspapers lend credibility to the stories about the Underground Railroad Stations. Deters wrote this book so that their incredible acts of bravery and self-sacrifice would not be forgotten.
