HISTORY'S MYSTERIES: The "Secret" Underground Railroad in Indiana

www.theindianajames.com
Join The Indiana James as he embarks in rediscovering a lost African American cemetery in the middle of the woods in Southern Indiana. While literally constructing a railroad through Indiana, this route was actually used as part of the Underground Railroad system to help run-a-way slaves reach their freedom. Even though Indiana was a "free" state, there were still bounty hunters on the look out.

Great video I really love hearing about the history of Indiana's underground railroads its by far the most fascinating subject to dive into. The graves make me cry you should definitely let the state know to mark it as a historical landmark it would be devastating for their legacy to be lost

[@TheIndianaJames]

The grave site is on private property. They had loggers come in a couple of years ago and almost destroyed the area. Luckily they didn't. You're right, I need to find a way to preserve the location. I'll look into that. Thanks for watching!

[@YouTubeBlueButterflies]

Yes I agree and believe it or not people only think of the Harriet Tubman trail but there were other underground railroads in other areas like going through the Midwestern states to end up settling in Windsor. I didn't find this out till a few years ago lol.

I’m from Wakarusa , Wyatt , and South Bend , our grandpa never told us the family in Olive township helped in the railroad . We found evidence. Downtown South Bend along the river has evidence of it as well . Grandpa was still afraid to tell after all those years. He owned and lived his entire life in the same farmhouse. He I guess could have not known he was born in 1908 but he could have . We found the evidence when we moved the chest freezer and behind it was a secret room with straw beds old fashioned toys and shackles that were cut . The cut shackles hit me hard I was 12 and it was very heavy what I was looking at . After we realized what we found there was so much pride knowing our people helped them not enslaved! I did my ancestry and found notes from a ladies church notes that coyly spoke of how president Lincoln was doing Gods work and it was about time and they would keep doing what they had been doing . The census confirmed during that same time period or before or after that there were no slaves being used .

Has any research/archeological digs been done? I love this, but until further research, I don't think it can 'absolutely' be declared to be a slave cemetery. There are many rock-slab unmarked pioneer graves - or even more recent; late 19th - early 20thc dirt-poor families. In my own family here in Kentucky. Either way, I agree you made a local historic find. :)

[@TheIndianaJames]

You are absolutely right. I was actually researching this Underground Railroad route last year before I got a job teaching film in South Korea. Another theory is that there was a cholera outbreak when the Irish workers were building the railroad and they were buried there but yet again I haven't been able to find any evidence to support this claim as well.

[@EnpointeOnly]

Sorry, I just now saw your reply. That's an equally interesting theory! I'm just surprised no one else has researched that site - especially with the Underground Railroad connection. Going up to Madison next weekend as a matter of fact - will check out Dr. Hutching's house.

What about the underground tunnels that led north. She did say bounty hunters made it impossible for runaway slaves to travel above ground. How did Harriet Tubman know how to follow these underground tunnels above ground.

[@TheIndianaJames]

The word 'Underground' signifies 'off the beaten path' or 'unknown' while the word 'railroad' signifies 'route'. Any path leading north that would get the slaves to the north was part of the underground railroad. In this instance, the slaves just so happened to follow an unfinished railroad line heading north. Bounty hunters made it really tough to travel during the day but it wasn't really impossible. Thanks for watching!

After much thought...considering the many stones, is it possible that the doctor may have played some part in the demise of these slaves? I mean...how coincidental is it that these freedom seekers survived the horrors of slavery and of traveling the underground railroad just to die at his doorstep? 🤔 Is there any interest by the land owner in finding out if there are actual bodies buried here?

[@TheIndianaJames]

One must understand that there was only one doctor in the area. There was a cholera outbreak amongst the Irish railroad workers and the ones that died might have been buried here too. During those days Catholics and Protestants weren't buried together so there's a good chance that some of these unmarked graves are some of the Irish immigrants. As for Dr. Hutchings having bad intentions is very rare since the organizers of the Underground Railroad knew of his help and generosity towards the movement. I hope this helps. Thanks for watching!

[@DOLfirst]

@@TheIndianaJames very interesting. I wonder if Dr. Hutchins kept any ledgers. It's very sad, if in fact there are bodies there, that they remain nameless.

[@TheIndianaJames]

@@DOLfirst Dr. Hutchings was the town doctor for Lexington, Indiana. In the town of Lexington they have a cemetery where on one side Protestants were buried and on the other side Catholics were buried. Any 'local citizen' would have been buried in this official cemetery. However, Dr. Hutchings lived around two miles out of town on a small farm surrounded by wilderness. In the woods on a small hill is where these unmarked graves remain. His involvement in the Underground Railroad probably was kept hidden for safety concerns; therefore this cemetery was kept a secret as well. You had bounty hunters chasing down the run-a-way slaves because the slave owners had bounties put out on them. I don't think Dr. Hutchings wanted his life to be in jeopardy or house burnt down or a burning cross on his lawn.
