Produktbeschreibung
Sarah H. Bradford's 'The Extraordinary Life Story of Harriet Tubman' paints a formidable portrait of an American icon whose story remains pivotal to understanding the nation's complex history of slavery and freedom. Through meticulous research, Bradford brings to life Tubman's unparalleled daring and the profound impact she had on the lives of those she helped liberate. In elegant prose that captures the spirit of Tubman's time, the narrative stands as both a historical account and a testament to her extraordinary courage, fortitude, and humanity. The inclusion of primary source excerpts, including vivid depictions of Tubman's own experiences and adversities, situates this work in a rich historical context, making it as deeply informative as it is moving. Bradford, an American writer and historian, emerged as a trailblazer in her own right by becoming a pioneer among women in children's literature. Her close friendship with Harriet Tubman and her contemporary status with literary figures like Harriet Beecher Stowe imbue her biography of Tubman with an intimate authenticity. Bradford's proximity to her subject and her lived understanding of the social currents of her time inform a narrative that feels both personal and universally resonant, offering unparalleled insights into the life of one of America's most hallowed figures in the crusade against slavery. 'The Extraordinary Life Story of Harriet Tubman' is thus not merely a recounting of historical events, but an evocation of the spirit of a woman whose legacy continues to inspire. Bradford's work invites readers on a journey through the trials and triumphs of Tubman's life and beckons scholars, students, and enthusiasts of American history, particularly those interested in the tales of individuals who have shaped the moral compass of a nation. This biography is an essential read for anyone seeking to comprehend the depth of courage and determination required to change the course of history.

Autorenporträt
Sarah Hopkins Bradford (1818-1912) was an American writer and historian, best known for her pioneering work in the genre of biography and her notable contributions to African American history. Born in Mount Morris, New York, she was a contemporary of the abolitionist movement and used her writings to advocate against slavery. Among her most acclaimed works is 'The Extraordinary Life Story of Harriet Tubman', which she published in 1869 under the full title 'Scenes in the Life of Harriet Tubman'. In this seminal biography, Bradford captures the remarkable experiences of Harriet Tubman, the legendary 'conductor' on the Underground Railroad, weaving a narrative that combines personal accounts and dramatic retellings of Tubman's heroic rescues. Bradford's literary style in this portrayal is characterized by a blend of factual reporting informed by interviews with Tubman herself and a compelling storytelling approach that employed didactic and sentimental elements. This biography not only elevated Tubman's legacy but also made a significant impact on the recording of African American history during the post-Civil War era. Bradford continued to document lives of note with her later work 'Harriet, The Moses of Her People' (1886), which offered readers a more detailed and revised account of Tubman's life and work. These contributions by Bradford are an invaluable part of literary and historical scholarship, documenting the struggle for freedom and the contributions of African Americans to American society.
