Description: An exploration of the movement of freedom seekers who escaped enslavement in the South and encountered the responsive networks of the Underground Railroad in the wide region south of Chicago. From La Salle and Livingston Counties to the west, east through Will and southern Cook Counties and across northwest Indiana, several thousand freedom seekers passed through on their way to freedom in Canada. In the decades before the Civil War, those going to Chicago and those bypassing the city found assistance from abolitionist activists south of Chicago.
