About this book
Sarah H. Bradford's Harriet, the Moses of Her People tells the extraordinary true story of Harriet Tubman, the legendary freedom fighter who earned her biblical nickname by leading enslaved people to liberation on the Underground Railroad. During the era of the Fugitive Slave Law and the American Civil War, this courageous woman risked her life repeatedly to guide approximately three hundred refugees from bondage to freedom in Canada, driven by an unwavering conviction that justice demanded their liberation.
Bradford's historical biography captures Tubman's remarkable courage and unwavering determination as she faced constant danger and the threat of capture. Drawing parallels to legendary figures like Joan of Arc and Florence Nightingale, Bradford argues that Tubman's heroism deserves equal recognition for her self-sacrifice and resilience in the face of impossible odds. Her cry to slaveholders—"Let my people go!"—echoes through these pages as a testament to her moral conviction and leadership.
This audiobook biography stands as a powerful historical document, originally published in 1886 while Tubman was still alive. It offers listeners an intimate portrait of one of America's most significant freedom fighters and her pivotal role in the abolitionist movement. Perfect for history enthusiasts, students of American civil rights, and anyone seeking inspiration from tales of genuine heroism, this narrative illuminates the life of a woman whose legacy continues to inspire generations fighting for justice and human dignity.
