U. Johnson is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book focuses on the Underground Railroad, detailing personal narratives and the experiences of those who sought freedom from slavery. It captures the clandestine operations of this network, emphasizing the courage of both the fugitives and those who assisted them. At the start of the book, the author sets the stage for a tale of escape and adventure as he introduces Jim Jones, a young enslaved boy who attempts to flee to freedom in August 1839. Caught by a patrol, he endures torture yet reveals only glimpses of the Underground Railroad, sparking intrigue about the network of secret escape routes. This opening promises a deeper exploration of stories surrounding historical figures and events tied to the singular goal of escaping the horrors of slavery, while also highlighting the risk taken by those involved. As the narrative unfolds, a group of fugitives—Jo, Nancy, Harry, and Kate, among others—begins to take shape, forming a central thread through the first chapters.
