Fergus Bordewich is the author of seven non-fiction books, including Bound for Canaan: The Underground Railroad and the War for the Soul of America (Amistad/HarperCollins, 2005). About the book, one reviewer said: “Bordewich excels at weaving the story of the Underground Railroad into a larger historical context. His work is comprehensive and a definitive work on the subject. His journalistic style makes for engrossing reading for both historians and a general audience.” He lives in San Francisco, CA with his wife, Jean Parvin Bordewich, a Guilford College alumna.
