This site listed below has a video explaining the history of the family of ex slaves who made this antique quilt. It demonstrates the code design present on this quilt. It also demonstrates a hypothetical method of deciphering the iconic code, relating the code to real geographic features of the local area and sociopolitical events that this family endured. Whether this code is actually related to an actual Undergorund Railroad remains to be determined. What this study does is to examine this antique quilt for systematic content, looking for graphic content that can be translated. It is successful in a partial translation of a systematic iconic representation. It does not completely establish a code for the Undergorund Raiload, but it may inspire further investigation and put any theories disclaiming such a code on a more level table for evaluation.

THis is my blog where I have made a un scientific poll where readers can vote on the matter. You can register a "yes" or "no" or "I do't know" opinion on the matter of the Underground Railroad Quilt code bieng a reality.
