Hidden in Plain View: A Secret Story of Quilts and the Underground Railroad by Jacqueline L. TobinMy rating: 2 of 5 stars
This book's basic premise is that quilt messages were part of the Underground Railroad. It does more to support the sharing of escape knowledge and routes via song than quilts, so while it is an engaging tale that knits together African print designs, freemasonry, and quilt patterns in mind it remains as Snopes would say, "unproven".
