Summary:

"Myths! Lies! Secrets! Uncover the hidden truth about the Underground Railroad and Black Americans' struggle for freedom. Perfect for fans of I Survived! and Nathan Hale's Hazardous Tales.

Discover the nonfiction series that smashes everything you thought you knew about history!" -- Amazon.
