From the Publisher
Discover just a few of the chapters in Harriet’s remarkable and courageous life:
Freedom Is calling
Harriet dreamed of escaping slavery early in life. Harriet was excited to finally start the journey north, just as she’d always dreamed.
Liberty for all
Even though she had to be more careful now, Harriet continued to risk her life to free people. She wore disguises, and she often dressed and acted like an old woman to appear harmless.
General Tubman
One of Harriet’s biggest successes was in 1863, when she led some 150 black Union Army soldiers along the Combahee River in South Carolina to rescue more than 700 slaves.
More work to be done
Even after the Civil War ended and black people were finally free, Harriet was far from finished. She turned her home into a boarding house to provide food and shelter for those in need and even donated her properties to the church.
