Summary:
The remarkable, little-known story of
William
Still
, known as the
Father
of the
Underground
Railroad
from award-winning author-illustrator Don Tate.
William
Still
's parents escaped slavery but had to leave two of their children behind, a tragedy that haunted the family. As a young man,
William
went to work for the Pennsylvania Anti-Slavery Society, where he raised money, planned rescues, and helped
freedom
seekers who had traveled north. And then one day, a strangely familiar man came into
William
's office, searching for information about his long-lost family. Could it be? Motivated by his own family's experience,
William
began collecting the
stories
of thousands of other
freedom
seekers. As a result, he was able to reunite other families and build a remarkable source of information, including encounters with Harriet Tubman, Henry "Box" Brown, and
William
and Ellen Craft. Don Tate brings to life the incredible true story of
William
Still
's life and work as a record keeper of enslaved people who had fled to
freedom
. Tate's powerful words and artwork are sure to inspire readers in this first-ever picture book biography of the
Father
of the
Underground
Railroad
.
