February is Black History Month. To celebrate, we are highlighting a travel book
related to the Underground Railroad on Maryland’s Eastern Shore.
Nonfiction
DBC 12463 – Tubman Travels : 32 Underground Railroad Journeys on Delmarva,
by Jim Duffy
Narrated by Barbara Anderson
Inspiring, true-life stories of the Underground Railroad put modern-day
travelers in touch with the lives of men and women who set out against all
odds in search of freedom from slavery. These stories include not just the
most famous of the region's escaped slaves, Harriet Tubman and Frederick Douglass,
but also many lesser-known figures whose journeys out of bondage speak volumes
about the timeless themes of courage, love, family, and faith. The journeys in the book
begin on the wide Choptank River in Cambridge, Maryland and then wander along
scenic backroads leading through history-laden towns such as Easton, St. Michaels,
Denton, Chestertown, Centreville, Bucktown, Madison, Galena, and Chesapeake City,
and into Delaware through Dover, Middletown, Seaford, New Castle, and Wilmington.
Some strong language.
