The Search for the Underground Railroad in South-Central Ohio

True stories of the people in this region of Ohio who aided those fleeing slavery—includes photos and illustrations.
The Underground Railroad remains one of America’s most ennobling true stories, and the people of Ohio played their part in this heroic endeavor.
Suffering a crisis of conscience, Presbyterian minister James Gilliland left his South Carolina home for Red Oak, where he became one of the state’s earliest and strongest abolitionists.
Peru Township’s Richard Dillingham died helping the enslaved escape bondage. In Alum Creek, three generations of the Benedict family risked life and limb doing the same.
Quakers Jane and Valentine Nicholson of Clinton County carted many a fugitive to freedom, as did Wilmington Quaker Abraham Allen with his trusty Liberator wagon.
Drawing on decades of research, author Tom Calarco uncovers the real tales of our nation’s quest for freedom and equality for all.
