Silent We Stood

Texas was the darkest corner of the Old South, too remote and violent for even the bravest abolitionists. On July 8, 1860, Dallas, Texas burned. Three slaves were accused of arson and hanged without a trial. Today, most historians attribute the fire to carelessness. Silent We Stood weaves the tale of a small band of abolitionists working in secrecy within Dallas's close-knit society.
