containing this and other equally romantic yet truthful stories will
soon be out, and, _my word for it, no book of the times will be more
eagerly read or more profitably remembered._"

The San Francisco _Elevator_ says:

* * * * "Mr. Still is one of the pioneers of 'THE UNDERGROUND
RAILROAD' in Philadelphia, where he still resides. He has aided more
slaves to escape than any other man, Bishop Lougan, of Syracuse,
_perhaps_ excepted. * * * * We hope his book will have a wide
circulation, as it will be a valuable addition to the history of the
anti-slavery struggle _such as no other man can write._"

Having been, during many years, associated with WILLIAM STILL, in
laboring for the abolition of American slavery, we heartily bear our
testimony to his abundant opportunities for acquiring information
relative to the subject of this book; and to his vigilance and fidelity
in all the departments of anti-slavery work in which he was engaged, and
especially in that department usually called "THE UNDERGROUND RAILROAD."

We gladly avail ourselves of this opportunity to express our confidence
in his ability to present to the public an authentic and interesting
history of this enterprise.

From the time the author announced his intention to prepare a book from

subject of favorable comment by leading minds of the country, without
reference to race. Since its publication it has received the endorsement
of the Press generally, and of Statesmen, Preachers, Lawyers, Doctors,
Students, in fact men of all ranks.
