One day, a strangely familiar man came into William''s office, searching for information about his long-lost family. Could it be?
Motivated by his own family''s experience, William Still began collecting the stories of thousands of other freedom seekers. As a result, he was able to reunite other families and build a remarkable source of information, including encounters with Harriet Tubman, Henry "Box" Brown, and William and Ellen Craft.
