Beskrivelse
This study of slavery and runaways from the Eppes plantations near City Point and Petersburg, VA, was originally planned as one part of a three-part history study of the Underground Railroad that would include three NPS sites within the Northeast Region of the NPS. The primary goal of this multi-site study was to demonstrate the widespread activity of the Underground Railroad and its connections from region to region and nation to nation. A secondary goal was to place the Underground Railroad within the context of African American life at those three sites, two of which were upper South plantations using enslaved labor.
