Dr. Skinner's Remarkable School for Colored Deaf, Dumb, and Blind Children 1857-1860

Just before the Civil War, Dr. Platt H. Skinner operated three schools for African-American children who were blind, deaf, or both. An ardent abolitionist, he was forced to move his school twice. The second school, the subject of this book, was located in Suspension Bridge, New York at a terminus of the Underground Railroad.
