Description: Photographic reproduction of a tintype depicting Edward L. Sebring (ca. 1839-1905), who worked with fellow abolitionist Jason Bull to aid fugitive slaves escaping to freedom in Canada from Columbus, Ohio, to the next safe station. The image was collected by Ohio State University professor Wilbur H. Siebert (1866-1961). Siebert began researching the Underground Railroad in the 1890s as a way to interest his students in history.
