Om denne e-bog

“[A] chronicle of the legendary Underground Railroad conductor . . . Tubman’s early life in slavery is well described, as are her brave efforts to escape.” —Booklist

After I escaped from slavery on the Underground Railroad, I returned to the South again and again and again, to rescue more slaves. During the Civil War, I was a spy and a nurse—and even helped lead a battle! I am Harriet Tubman.

With a forward-thinking attitude, Harriet Tubman escaped slavery and risked her life countless times to help free seventy others. She became monumental in both the civil rights movement and the women’s suffrage movement. Kids will be inspired by this account of her tireless work to create a better America, including:

• illustrations throughout
• a timeline
• an introduction to the other people you’ll meet in the book, including Harriet’s parents
• maps
• sidebars
• a top ten list of important things to know, and more
