Review:

I knew the outlines of Tubman’s story, but I knew neither the details nor the context.  This book offers both and is an interesting and approachable introduction to Harriet Tubman.  It is not thorough (surely there are other biographies for that), but it is complete and it focuses on Tubman’s active life bringing people to freedom.
