The sources for our short stories are  the 1838 PAS Census and William Still, and our own research which is located on our blog. 

​

There's much to learn from a detailed read of the 1838 Census.  Here's how we do it. 

​

William Stilll's highly detailed description of people arriving to Philadelphia via the Underground Railroad help us visualize their stories.  

​

You'll find these stories in both a notebook kept by Still - called  Journal C  - and the Underground Railroad book written by Still.

Special thanks to the Historical Society of Pennsylvania for their great stewardship of Journal C. ​​
