Underground Railroad Folder now in VF

In preparation for this year's Wilcox Foundation Essay topic on the Civil War in the Plymouth Area, I requested several photocopies from older journals on the topic of the Underground Railroad in Michigan.  There are four reprints now in the VF under local history - file folder marked "Underground Railroad."  Thanks to Sean for making copies (I have originals) and creating a new folder.  Encourage students to photocopy them rather than check them out since there's not a lot of info, although they actually do circulate for one week.  I also ordered two newish books last year on the Underground Railroad in Michigan - The Underground Railroad in Michigan by Carol Mull and From Midnight to Dawn; the Last Tracks of the Underground Railroad by Jacqueline Tobin.  They are currently checked out by a student working on this essay topic but are normally shelved in ANF 973.711 area.
