Are you indicating the Underground RR is referenced in this book?My research has verified that Prince Hall masons were often "conductors" of The Underground Railroad... they were an integral part of it's success. They worked closely with others to help many at that time realize freedom. The influence of Prince Hall's philosophy on liberation and equality is often overlooked.

Prince Hall lodges did the same.What was your research that verified PHA members were involved in the Undergeound RR?
