I love these stories of unbelievable and unbearable strength. I love how so many enslaved people risk their own life, to go after,after being free to get another person.I also feel that all people should remember that
that there were many whites that help Black people to freedom.

the strenght, the love enslave Blacks had for each other and accomplishments of these people .

I was really looking forward to listening to this book after having listened to several excellent Audible-recommended nonfiction books in a row (this one also came recommended).

Sadly, I found the writing both didactic and oddly padded with extraneous details. It sounded—dare I say it—like a school term paper peppered with editorialized adjectives until it was long enough to be called a book.

I found most of the readers slow and emotionless. The readers trade off chapters, and there was only one in the group that I found at all engaging.

You'd think with such a fascinating topic to work with, the author or the readers would have been able to breathe more life into these stories.

Great topic, disappointing execution
