Old news....I too read the book when it was " hot" and had some trepidation about its authenticity....even attended a presentation featuring the author.......again I had doubts about some of her statements......unfortunately we will really never know the absolute truth....just thank heaven we had the determination to cease it. Sadly it is still in existence in parts of the world now as it has been since man has walked the earth........

this is subsidzed by the government? another waste of our tax money. myth or actual fact, there is nothing to approve or disprove the underground railroad. I do however believe there were people who were willing to help another person avoid abuse.
