Hidden in Plain View: A secret story of quilts and the underground railroad     
by Jacqueline Tobin (2000)

read: 13 December 2017
rating: [0]
category: non-fiction

I was expecting this to be a much different book. I was expecting to it have a lot of research and interesting historical stuff. Instead I got a lot of stories--which were in and of themselves pretty good--and a lot of anecdata which made me feel weird about the general thesis the authors had: that quilts and their patterns were an integral part of underground railroad communication. I remain unconvinced.
