"Between the War of 1812 and the Civil War, tens of thousands of African Americans (especially runaway slaves) fled to Canada in search of freedom, equality, and a better life. In "From Midnight to Dawn," Jacqueline Tobin rediscovers this hidden but important episode in both nations' histories and provides a masterful retelling in clear and
moving language."
--Roy E. Finkenbine, Professor of History at the University of Detroit Mercy & Director of the Black Abolitionist Archives
