The Ohio River provided a remarkable opportunity for the enslaved to escape to free soil in Indiana and Ohio. The river beckoned fugitive slave Henry Bibb onto a steamboat at Madison, Indiana, headed to Cincinnati, where he discovered the Underground Railroad. Author Nancy Theiss, PhD, takes readers on a tour (with detailed information on historical sites) to see these places of courage and sacrifice along the river separating northern Kentucky from southern Indiana and Ohio.
