The Ohio Reading Road Trip video series from ThinkTV Dayton is an exciting literary journey across Ohio and through time. It takes students inside the novels, short stories, and poems of some of Ohio's most famous and beloved writers. In this video learn about author Harriet Beecher Stowe. Living in Cincinnati prior to the Civil War, she met the Underground Railroad Conductors who lived in and around the small town of Ripley, Ohio, along the Ohio River. From them she learned of the plight of escaping slaves who crossed the river into the north and freedom. These stories formed the basis of her famous book, Uncle Tom's Cabin, that documented racial injustice before the Civil War.
