Summary:
"Harriet Tubman's story is one of bravery and resilience. Tubman, who was born a slave, suffered both physically and emotionally, but she didn't let that affect her dreams of a better future. Tubman escaped to the North, but she didn't stay there long. Instead, she returned to the South many times, becoming a key figure on the Underground Railroad. This is the story of her life, from her childhood to her time as a nurse and leader of a spy ring during the Civil War. Using easy-to-understand language, this biography will educate young readers about Tubman and her importance in U.S. history." --Provided by publisher.
