The Rush R. Sloane House was the Sandusky home of the lawyer who defended the Underground Railroad in court — Sloane, the abolitionist attorney who represented the fugitives' helpers when the Fugitive Slave Act came for them, his documented cases the law's fight against the law.
The file's documented spine is Sloane's legal war: the lawyer who stood between the slave catchers and the railroad, whose cases in the federal courts tested the Fugitive Slave Act — the house where the movement's lawyer lived.

THE LAWYER'S HOUSE
The file's legend layer is empty — the Sloane House's claim is the documented cases: the lawyer who defended the Underground Railroad's conductors, whose Sandusky home was the movement's legal address on the lake.
Sloane's practice is the file's register — a lawyer who made the law fight for the escaping, his house in the port city where the lake route to Canada began.

WHY THIS FILE MATTERS
The Sloane House is the archive's lawyer file — the home of the attorney who defended the freedom network in court, a Network to Freedom site where the law itself was the battleground.
A house that held the railroad's lawyer keeps the cases' memory — the file's suggestion being that Sloane's Sandusky home was the movement's courtroom arsenal.
