Review: Hidden in Plain View: A Secret Story of Quilts and the Underground Railroad

Hidden in Plain View: A Secret Story of Quilts and the Underground Railroad Hidden in Plain View: A Secret Story of Quilts and the Underground Railroad by Jacqueline L. Tobin

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".
