Extraordinary amazing story! How could I have I never heard so many of these details before?

History classes too often leave out the vivid details that make a story come alive

I tooted my favorite Harriet Tubman quote early this morning and it reminded me how much I loved reading Ta-Nehisi Coates' novel The Water Dancer. Part historical fiction and part fantasy, it tells the story of an enslaved man with supernatural powers and provided the perfect imagining of how Harriet Tubman was able to escape enslavement on the and then return to lead others to freedom. If you haven't read it, you really should.

At 20 years old, Frederick Douglass escaped to Newport, Rhode Island, but couldn't stay there because it was a slave state. From there he went to New Bedford, Massachusetts, which had a large, free black population. Massachusetts had ended slavery in 1783:

女主Cora的妈妈在她只有10岁的时候从种植园逃离了。再也没有被找到。赏金猎人Ridgeway也曾参与寻找，最终空手而归。他不能接受这个失败，因而当Cora也逃离后，他对于狩猎Cora尤其执着。
Cora逃离10多个月之后，他在南卡找到她。但在途经田纳西的时候，Cora被路过的黑人同胞救走，还将Ridgeway打伤。Ridgeway最终追到印第安纳，此时Cora的原主人已经死了，Ridgeway甚至不确定是不是能拿到奖金。
Ridgeway固然是一个生动的人物。但这个故事设定，将追捕Cora作为Ridgeway的个人执念，大大的矮化了作品的意义。Cora作为一个逃离蓄奴州的黑奴，追捕和狩猎她的，不是某个个人，而是整个奴隶制，全部南方州，所有的奴隶主，赏金猎人和种族主义者。在当时的环境下，她实际上几近无处可逃。能通过地下铁道逃离奴役的，只是少数幸运儿。
本书的高潮部分非常具有讽刺意味。自由人、带有白人血统的农场主Valentine召集聚会。会上大家高谈阔论，然而此时Ridgeway带领的白人，却埋伏在外，最后围猎了与会的黑人。黑人们以为自己拥有自由，可以选择未来，然而这一切都还十分脆弱。最后Cora通过一段无人使用的地下铁轨和手摇轨道车逃离血海。这样的结局，也许是在说，革命尚未成功，Underground Railroad仍然任重道远。
