Harriet Tubman
While most civil rights leaders have had films and books made of their lives, Harriet Tubman, the historical figure who embodies the noblest ideas of the American character, remains the most underappreciated heroine of our nation’s story. That is until recently when, by popular vote, she landed the new spot on our currency--please to God do not let Trump screw that up! The life of the greatest conductor on the underground railroad leaps from the page here as Harriet single handedly leads hundreds of people to freedom before going on to become the Union Army’s greatest spy. While the intense drama of Harriet’s life and her heart breaking humanity pack these pages, the story is thrilling and it rips from start to finish.
To make a great story even better: The history of the abolitionist movement is carefully woven into our narrative. Appearances by John Calhoun, the south’s greatest defender as he fights the losing battle against William Stills, Frederick Douglass, William Lloyd Garrison, John Quincy Adams and the generous and heroic Quakers are littered throughout the tale. In this way, Harriet’s life becomes a powerful celebration of the greatest social movement in human history.
The story is told in two parts.
