The Underground Railroad: Authentic Narratives and First-Hand AccountsIn the winter of 1852, a group of Philadelphia abolitionists dedicated to assisting runaway slaves in their flight to freedom formed a new assistance group to be part of the Underground Railroad the General Vigilance Committee. William Still, himself a son of slaves, was named its secretary and executive director. Deeply moved by the stories of the fugitive slaves he helped conduct northward, Still took his committee record keeping to a higher level.

In the winter of 1852, a group of Philadelphia abolitionists dedicated to assisting runaway slaves in their flight to freedom formed a new assistance group to be part of the Underground Railroad--the General Vigilance Committee. William Still, himself a son of slaves, was named its secretary and executive director. Deeply moved by the stories of the fugitive slaves he helped conduct northward, Still took his committee record-keeping to a higher level. He wrote down, in eloquent narrative form, every detail of their stirring, often heartbreaking histories.
Second only to the great Harriet Tubman in the number of freedom-seeking "passengers" he conducted through the Underground Railroad, Still let the words of former slaves speak for themselves. In his journals, he painstakingly reproduced vivid accounts he heard from their very lips. And he added excerpts from letters, newspapers, and legal documents to the already arresting biographical sketches, creating unforgettable portraits of the slaves' deadly struggles, brutal hardships, and narrow escapes.
When the Civil War ended and slavery was abolished, William Still published his journals as The Underground Railroad. It is considered the most complete firsthand account ever written of the men, women, and children who rode the legendary "Railroad" to freedom. This edition includes a new Introduction and 20 illustrations from the original publication.

Doesn’t maintain hot too long.
I love this cup because the material is good for heavy duty jobs like mine. I took off one star because it does keep hot but not for super long, it lasts hot for about 2-3 hours. Other than that it’s easy to wash and the magnet that comes on the cup is super strong which comes in handy for not loosing it. It magnetized on to the cup.

It's the best.
I'm picky on my coffee cups. Klien though has made a great cup for ones like me who work construction. This tumbler not only keeps your coffee hot, but is tough as hell. I can't count how many times it's fallen, dropped, or accidently kicked and still works like new. The rubber bottom and sides grip great. The magnet is strong and helps with tipping over, or possibly dropping. The locking lid also helps with spills.

Best tumbler I've ever owned
I use this tumbler as a travel cup for my coffee primarily. I have also drank cold beverages out of it. Both are satisfying experiences. Why does this product appeal to me so much that I would buy one, recieve it and then buy another? Because they got it RIGHT. They didn't waste time trying to put a handle on it that would be too big for some hands and too small for others. Instead, they put a grip surface on it that is comfortable and secure with or without gloves. A cup for all seasons and working men and women of America. The lid screws on, and the drink spout cover snaps in place open and closed. Even better, it doesn't rub on your nose when you drink out of it. Stainless steel inside and out, except for the thick lid and grip surface. Keeps coffee hot way longer than I'm used to, but don't know for sure how long because I don't waste much time drinking it. I have one for my truck and one for my Jeep so I'll never be without it. Yeah. Love it that much. I don't use the provided rare earth magnets for the cup, but I put them to good use elsewhere. I can see where they would come in handy in the construction or other trades. I use the cups on my commute, around the house, and while enjoying the outdoors. Keep up the good work, people!
