Harriet Tubman,: Conversations With An American Heroine

In addition to her remarkable activities as an emancipator and leader of escaping slaves, Harriet Tubman was an army nurse and Union spy. Nicknamed the General, she acted as an advisor to the officers as they led campaigns against rebel forces in the South. An illiterate former slave, she lived an amazing life of action, adventure, and true compassion. She led over forty escaped slaves to freedom while dodging ?slave catchers? and those who could turn her in to the authorities. Rather than simply another biography, Harriet Tubman, Conversations with an American Heroine uses imagined conversations with her relatives and friends, as now in her eighties, she recalls various incidents before, during, and after the Civil War.
