About This Item
New York:: Harper & Brothers,, (1941). SIGNED hardcover -. Very good in purple boards in a poorexample of the scarce dust jacket (some rubbing to the lettering on the spine of the book, the dj is missing approx 1/4 in along the top edge, the front flap is detached and some loss to the fore-edge of the front cover of the dj, price-clipped.) Despite its flaws, the dj did protect the book and all of the information is present. . 3rd printing. The third - and probably best known - book by this novelist, editor and civil rights activist. The first extensive history of the Underground Railroad and still an important book about it. Richard Wright called this "a magnificent picture of the struggle of the Negro for freedom .. . in an hour of national peril she resurrects and holds aloft an era in which the hunger for freedom transcended the laws of the land and the rights of property, in which the desire for human dignity and human right became an active and creative force. "Illustrated with photographs and maps. INSCRIBED on the front endpaper. Bibliography, index. 398 pp.
