Industry Reviews

Thoroughly researched, with solid information, this book explores the fascinating people, places, and stories relating to the Underground Railroad in Youngstown, New York, an important crossing point into Canada. It is a very welcome addition to Underground Railroad literature.

A Final River to Cross is a definitive exclamation of the existence of, support for, and the open and notorious operation the Underground Railroad in Western New York, as well as a demonstration of Youngstown's connections to regional and national UGRR networks. Simultaneously, this important primary research document, intricately researched by the authors, opens the door to more questions than answers, not about whether or not there were any crossings from Youngstown to Canada, but about the extent which the men and women of Youngstown, New York, played in this amazing international movement. The Dulings' research suggests that there is more to the story; no doubt their work will continue to inform and inspire additional investigation for decades."
