Reminiscences Of Levi Coffin, The Reputed President Of The Underground Railroad is a memoir written by Levi Coffin, an American abolitionist who was known for his role in helping slaves escape to freedom through the Underground Railroad. The book recounts Coffin's experiences as a Quaker living in Indiana during the mid-19th century, and his involvement in the anti-slavery movement. Coffin details his childhood in North Carolina, where he witnessed the horrors of slavery firsthand, and his eventual move to Indiana, where he became a prominent figure in the Underground Railroad. He describes the many slaves he helped to freedom, the dangers he faced in doing so, and the network of abolitionists who supported his efforts. The book also provides insight into the political and social climate of the time, including the Fugitive Slave Act and the tensions between abolitionists and pro-slavery advocates. Coffin's memoir is a powerful testament to the bravery and determination of those who fought against the institution of slavery, and serves as a reminder of the ongoing struggle for racial justice in America.Being A Brief History Of The Labors Of A Lifetime In Behalf Of The Slave, With The Stories Of Numerous Fugitives, Who Gained Their Freedom Through His Instrumentality, And Many Other Incidents.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
