About this book

Español

¿Qué fue el Tren Clandestino?

Nadie sabe con certeza de dónde vino el nombre Tren Clandestino: no había trenes ni vías, solo valientes "conductores" que guiaban hacia la libertad a las personas que escapaban de la esclavitud. Este libro informativo reúne historias reales de los "pasajeros" que recorrieron esa ruta, sus encuentros con cazarrecompensas, las agotadoras jornadas en el camino y todo lo que arriesgaron y sacrificaron por ser libres. Con 80 ilustraciones y un pliego fotográfico de dieciséis páginas, este capítulo clave de la historia de Estados Unidos cobra vida.

English

What Was the Underground Railroad?

No one knows exactly where the name Underground Railroad came from—there were no trains and no tracks, only brave "conductors" who guided people escaping slavery toward freedom. This engaging nonfiction title shares true stories of the "passengers" who traveled the route, their narrow escapes from bounty hunters, the exhausting miles on the road, and everything they risked and sacrificed for liberty. With 80 illustrations and a sixteen-page photo insert, this important chapter of United States history comes vividly alive for young readers.
