This engrossing and thorough biography of an American legend reads like a great story. The author, a black woman who passed away in the 1990's, uses the term "Negro" throughout the book (originally published in 1955), so young readers may need instruction regarding the term's background and use. While many books relate Harriet Tubman's story, this one may retell it the best.
Publisher Summary
Originally published in 1955, this quintessential biography of Harriet Tubman now features a cover by NAACP Image Award winner and Caldecott Honoree Nelson, a Foreword by National Book Award finalist Reynolds ("Ghost"), and additional new material.
