Underground Railroad - Joel C Garretson
Advertisement
The Underground Railroad stands as a profound testament to courage, resilience, and the unyielding pursuit of freedom. It’s a chapter of history we must remember, honor, and pass on.
Loree, a descendant of one of the brave conductors will share with us about Joel C. Garretson and his wife Elizabeth—devout Quakers who, after arriving in Iowa from Ohio in 1837, transformed their homestead into a sanctuary of hope. Joel C had a bounty on his head of $500, but he was never caught.
