Description
How did New Bedford come to be seen as a haven for fugitives, and was antislavery truly, as one whaling merchant put it, "the ruling sentiment of the town"? This book addresses these questions and the author documents fugitive traffic in and around New Bedford and analyzes it on several levels.
