William Still was one of the most important, yet largely unheralded
heroes of the Underground Railroad. Still was determined to get as many
runaways as he could to "Freedom's Land," smuggling them across the US
border to Canada. Bounty hunters could legally abduct former slaves
living in the so-called free northern states, but under the protection
of the British, Canada provided sanctuary for fugitive slaves.
