Excellent oral history - Rated Really good account of an oral history story. True, there aren't many concrete facts in this book, but not many concrete facts exist about women's day-to-day history, day-to-day African American slave history, and slave involvement in the Freedom Train. This book presents what has traditionally been an oral history story and "passes it on" to a wider audience. I thank the authors and Ozella McDaniel for letting me share in their community. Very, good! Pleased to read more on this subject. - Rated I have read of hints of this in other books and was pleased to read a book on the subject. I'm sure there will be those that do not think there is enough proof of the story, but it is like the American Indian it was handed down by word of mouth. I would love to have some of these quilts for our annual quilt show, I have some of the patterns but they were not made by the African Americans. Tobin has crossed the bridge between the races. - Rated Why is Amazon including Benberry as an author of this book? There is a grammatical error at the top of your review..."McDaniel's" doesn't require the apostrophe or the s...simply McDaniel will do. Good Story But Needs More - Rated The authors have a good command of "art speak" and that allows them to present their evidence in a very readable and convicing manner. To complete this book and make a stronger case I hope the authors follow up with another book that uses more oral history or traditional historical documentation of those who escaped from the South and made it to either the North or Canada. THAT WOULD BE A GREAT STORY! My hope is that those with stories of escape and courage will now share the tales with the world! Absolutely an outstanding book. - Rated I have always been a student of history and considered myself fairly well informed. I am also a musician and thought I knew something about spirituals. This book destroyed both beliefs. I will never view a quilt or hear a spiritual again without new found knowledge.
