COCKRUM, WILLIAM M. History of the Underground Railroad as It Was Conducted by the Anti-Slavery League. Including Many Thrilling Encounters Between
COCKRUM, WILLIAM M. History of the Underground Railroad as It Was Conducted by the Anti-Slavery League. Including Many Thrilling Encounters Between Those Aiding the Slaves to Escape and Those Trying to Recapture Them. Illustrated. 8vo, original brick-red cloth, some light mottling at the edge of the front cover. Oakland City, Indiana, (1915)
- Notes: first edition. The author's father, Colonel James W. Cockrum was a primary source for this history, as were Dr. John W. Posey and several other men from Indiana where this book was published. Southern Indiana was at least four-fifths pro-slavery, and the Anti-Slavery League was established there to aid runaway slaves in an organized manner, rather than, in the author's words "the haphazard way it was being done."
