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.
