Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Harriet The Moses Of Her People is a biography written by Sarah H. Bradford. The book tells the story of Harriet Tubman, an American abolitionist, humanitarian, and an armed scout and spy for the United States Army during the American Civil War. Harriet Tubman was born into slavery, but she managed to escape and became a leading figure in the Underground Railroad, a network of secret routes and safe houses used by slaves to escape to freedom. The book chronicles Harriet Tubman's life from her childhood in slavery, through her escape to freedom, and her work as a conductor on the Underground Railroad. It also describes her involvement in the Civil War, where she served as a nurse, cook, and spy for the Union Army. Through her bravery and determination, Harriet Tubman became a symbol of hope and freedom for African Americans. The book provides a detailed account of her life and the struggles she faced as a black woman in a society that was hostile to her and her people. Harriet The Moses Of Her People is a powerful and inspiring biography that sheds light on one of the most important figures in American history. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of slavery, the Underground Railroad, and the fight for civil rights.The way was so toilsome over the rugged mountain passes, that often the men who followed her would give out, and foot-sore, and bleeding, they would drop on the ground, groaning that they could not take another step. They would lie there and die, or if strength came back, they would return on their steps, and seek their old homes again. Then the revolver carried by this bold and daring pioneer, would come out, while pointing it at their heads she would say, ""Dead niggers tell no tales; you go on or die!"" And by this heroic treatment she compelled them to drag their weary limbs along on their northward journey.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
