From 1819, the Coffin family was involved in the Underground Railroad, risking their lives and freedom assisting African-Americans to escape slavery. Addison Coffin was born in 1822 and became a conductor on the Underground Railroad at an early age. His cousin, Levi Coffin was a well-known abolitionist and Addison's brothers were also conductors. An almost-forgotten hero of the 19th century, Coffin tells his tale here, first published in 1897. Addison Coffin spent a lifetime working for the end of slavery, then women's suffrage and temperance. Along the way, he traveled the world and writes about his trips across America, Europe, and Mexico. For the first time, this long-out-of-print book is available as an affordable, well-formatted book for e-readers and smartphones. Be sure to LOOK INSIDE or download a sample.
