The book provides a compelling narrative of Tubman's brave and selfless efforts to lead enslaved individuals to freedom through the Underground Railroad.

The book also sheds light on the struggles faced by African Americans during the antebellum period, making it a valuable resource for understanding the complexities of American history. Sarah H. Bradford, a dedicated abolitionist and biographer, was deeply inspired by Harriet Tubman's resilience and courage, prompting her to write this seminal work. Bradford's personal connection to the abolitionist movement adds a layer of authenticity to her portrayal of Tubman's remarkable life. I highly recommend 'Harriet Tubman: The Moses of Her People' to readers interested in American history, social justice, and the enduring legacy of courageous individuals who fought against injustice. Bradford's meticulous research and insightful commentary make this book a must-read for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the Underground Railroad and the extraordinary life of Harriet Tubman.
Autorenporträt
Sarah Hopkins Bradford (1818 – 1912) was an American writer and biographer known for her works detailing the lives of significant historical figures, particularly African American women who played a crucial role in the abolitionist movement. Notably, Bradford authored 'Harriet Tubman, The Moses of Her People' in 1886, an expansive biography that chronologically traces the life of Harriet Tubman—the renowned conductor of the Underground Railroad. Tubman's narrative, as recounted by Bradford, extends from her birth into slavery to her monumental contributions to the emancipation of slaves and her Civil War service (Bradford, 1886). Bradford's literary style is representative of the 19th-century biographical genre, wherein the portrayal of character and personal virtues often takes precedence over strict historical documentation. While recognizing Tubman's heroic achievements, Bradford also imbued her work with reverence and admiration, which bolstered Tubman's legendary status in American history. Bradford's commitment to social justice and her historical biographies provided contemporary readers with insightful perspectives on the struggles and triumphs of African Americans. Her works remain significant for their early contribution to African American history and for bringing to light the narratives of powerful women who had previously been marginalized or overlooked in historical documentation.
