Underground Railroad

The map gave no indicaion of its operations between Evansville, Indiana, and Cincinnati, Ohio.

In 1854, Julia Wilson, 14, traveled to Madison, Indiana, the seat of Jefferson County, from Jackson, Hinds County, Mississippi, by way of what was known as a “Black Pass.”

Several years ago, I read a biography of Miss Delia Ann Webster, an amazingly strong woman who was born and raised in Vermont, but moved south to become involved in anti-slavery activities from the 1840s through Emancipation. Recently, I read the only other biography about Webster that I could find.
