Description

by Eber M. Pettit
Fugitive slave Tom Hawkin’s first sight of Lake Erie is beautifully imagined by Underground Railroad agent Eber Pettit. Pettit operated a station at Versailles, Cattaraugus County, New York, on the banks of Cattaraugus Creek, for nearly a quarter century. From there he funneled fugitives to Black Rock and the Niagara River for passage to Canada. Eber knew well the U.G.R.R. routes through Ohio, Western Pennsylvania, and New York; and he was acquainted with U.G.R.R. procedures and personalities beyond. “Sketches in the History of the Underground Railroad” are his collected reminiscences, commissioned by the editors of the Fredonia Censor (NY) and published in that newspaper in 1868. With introduction and notes by Paul Leone. Autographed copies by Paul Leone available
