Description:
Interlaced with personal stories of the people, with music from the abolitionist movement and Underground Railroad, and describing hardships of army life and war, songs deal with Mary Brown, wife of Harper’s Ferry John Brown, Harriet Tubman, conductor of Underground Railroad, and express the patriotic fervor that motivated both sides of this conflict.
