In the days leading up to the Civil War, helping slaves escape to freedom became increasingly dangerous - especially in Northern Ohio. Only the bravest of conductors on the Underground Railroad continued defying federal orders to stop helping slaves - and Robbins and Eliza Burrell of Sheffield, Ohio were two of those daring conductors who refused to stop. Federal marshals raided their home countless times, yet never caught those assisting fugitives. No one knows how they evaded detection - but Freedom's Light: A Stop on the Underground Railroad suggests one possible way as it shares the story of Nellie as she courageously flees slavery so that her baby could live in freedom.
