Scott Shane has written an informative, intellectual account of Thomas Smallwood, a free black man, who partnered with Charles Torrey, a white abolitionist, to help slaves escape their bondage. This non-fiction historical book is full of factual information and sheds light on a lot of lore surrounding the Underground Railroad and how so many were escorted to freedom in the north.
If you're a history buff or just purely in awe of this history and amazing change makers like I am, pick this one up today!
Many thanks to Celadon Books and NetGalley for this informative book!
