From Dixie to Canada: Romance and Realities of the Underground Railroad is a historical non-fiction book written by H. U. Johnson in 1894. The book chronicles the journey of African American slaves as they escaped from the Southern United States to Canada through the Underground Railroad. The book explores the various challenges that these slaves faced during their journey, including the danger of being caught by slave catchers, the harsh weather conditions, and the lack of food and shelter. The book also delves into the stories of the people who helped the slaves on their journey, including abolitionists, Quakers, and other sympathetic individuals. The author provides a detailed account of the different routes that the slaves took to reach Canada, including the famous route through Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New York. From Dixie to Canada also explores the social and political climate of the time, including the tensions between the North and the South, the Fugitive Slave Act, and the role of the Underground Railroad in the abolitionist movement. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in African American history, the Underground Railroad, and the fight against slavery in the United States.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
