From Midnight to Dawn presents compelling portraits
of the men and women who established the Underground Railroad and
traveled it to find new lives in Canada. Evoking the turmoil and
controversies of the time, Tobin illuminates the historic events
that forever connected American and Canadian history by giving us
the true stories behind well-known figures such as Harriet Tubman
and John Brown. She also profiles lesser-known but equally heroic
figures such as Mary Ann Shadd, who became the first black female
newspaper editor in North America, and Osborne Perry Anderson, the
only black survivor of the fighting at Harpers Ferry. An
extraordinary examination of a part of American history, From
Midnight to Dawn will captivate readers with its tales of hope,
courage, and a people’s determination to live equally under the
law.
