William Still Poradie kníh
William Still sa narodil do otroctva, no podarilo sa mu dosiahnuť slobodu a stal sa kľúčovou postavou v boji proti nemu. Sám sa naučil čítať a písať, čo mu umožnilo zastávať pozíciu tajomníka a neskôr predsedu Pensylvánskej aboličnej spoločnosti. Jeho húževnatosť a odhodlanie boli hnacou silou jeho práce pri pomoci stovkám utekajúcich otrokov na Podzemnej železnici. Využíval svoj domov ako útočisko a starostlivo viedol záznamy o tých, ktorým pomohol, čo neskôr viedlo k publikovaniu jeho diel. Jeho celoživotný odkaz zahŕňa nielen tento zásadný príspevok k abolicionistickému hnutiu, ale aj založenie sirotinca a pomoc pri organizácii prvej YMCA pre Afroameričanov.

In the long list of names who have suffered and died in the cause of freedom, not one, perhaps, could be found whose efforts to redeem a poor family of slaves were more Christlike than Seth Concklin's, whose noble and daring spirit has been so long completely shrouded in mystery. Except John Brown, it is a question, whether his rival could be found with respect to boldness, disinterestedness and willingness to be sacrificed for the deliverance of the oppressed.
