Book on the "Underground Railway."
Eric Foner is one of my favorite historian/writers. He penetrates to the key issues while others push their ideological hobby-horses, fawn over or hate the historical figure, or get lost in the detail. His "The Fiery Trial: Abraham Lincoln and American Slavery" won a Pulitzer Prize. This is his latest book on the Underground Railroad "Gateway to Freedom: The Hidden History of the Underground Railroad." (NYT BR here.) Hope to get to it somedayk.
