This is the first I have heard that the AT was the "slave route to freedom". Is this documented anywhere?
I realize the AT as we know it was not "connected" or finished until the 1930's and was comprised of several shorter trails in various places. Interesting.
Here is a link to an article that may help explain the AT connection with the underground railroad: https://appalachiantrail.org/official-blog/underground-railroad-at-hike/
Just found it searching Google. Hope the link works.
Sorry, link not working. I cant figure out how to edit it.
