In this volume the author gives us a glimpse into the remarkable life of Harriet Tubman. Born a slave, Harriet chose to seek freedom despite the risks. Not satisfied with her own freedom she decides to go back down South and free more of her people. For this she is nicknamed "Moses" and receives the accolade of a high bounty placed on her head by southern whites. In her desire to see people treated humanly, she joins the Union cause in the civil war and becomes a spy for the Union Army. The author, Sarah H. Bradford, gathered information for this book from those who knew Mrs. Tubman, as well as interviews with Mrs. Tubman herself. Originally published in 1869, it has been republished and reformatted here for its historical significance and to remind the reader of one who fought for the freedoms we have today.
