Default Underground Railroad block #7

Crossroads – Once escapees made it safely through the Appalachian Mountains, they were to travel to the “crossroads” meaning a city where they would find protection and refuge. The main crossroad, or terminal, was Cleveland, Ohio. There were four or five overland trails connected with Cleveland, and numerous water routes, crossing Lake Erie into Canada and freedom.

Thanks for showing these and the history lesson. I was telling my two grandsons about this the other evening and they were fascinated by it. They had not learned about it at all in school.
