- catalog abstract ""In Front Line of Freedom, Keith P. Griffler shifts the focus away, from the usual emphasis placed on support operations, or "stations," run by whites along routes used to conduct fugitives into the Northern states or into Canada. Instead, he stresses the essential role of African Americans in Ohio River port communities." "Front Line of Freedom unfolds the surprising history of an interracial struggle against slavery. Refuting old notions of whites working and African Americans riding on the Underground Railroad, Griffler reveals meaningful collaboration between blacks and whites at every level of the enterprise. Long before soldiers donned blue and gray uniforms, the activities of free African Americans in the Ohio River Valley made the region an initial battleground in the protracted fight to end the institution of slavery in America."--Jacket.".
