Old Trails on the Niagara Frontier (Classic Reprint)

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Old Trails on the Niagara Frontier The incidents related in Underground Trails are illustra tive of many an episode at the eastern end of Lake Erie in the days preceding the Civil War. I had the facts of the principal adventures some years ago from the late Mr. Frank Henry of Erie, Pa., who had himself been a participant in more than one worthy enterprise of the Underground Railroad. Sketches based on information supplied by Mr. Henry, and originally written out for the Erie Gazette, are the latter part of the paper as it now stands. The last essay, Niagara and the Poets, is a following of Old Trails chiefly in a literary sense, but it is thought its inclusion here will not be found inappropriate to the general character of the collection.
