Maple Heights Branch

Large Meeting Room (56)

Author Kathy Schulz discusses her book, The Underground Railroad in Ohio.

About the author:

Kathy Schulz is a retired college librarian. She grew up in Columbiana County, Ohio, on a family farm predating the Civil War surrounded by Underground Railroad lore; her birthplace of Salem was an important Quaker abolitionist town. She later lived near Springfield, Ohio, on another important freedom seeker route. Kathy regards herself as a “soldier in the information revolution” during her career at Wittenberg University, though she discovered fascinating information about local anti-slavery activity the old style way: from yellowed papers in library archives.

The Underground Railroad in Ohio combines true stories of the Underground Railroad with well-researched historical background information.  Kathy Schulz's book highlights Ohio's central role in the noble effort while dispelling longstanding myths and misunderstandings. A portion of the fascinating Addison White story will be read aloud.

Books will be available for purchase.
