Harriet Tubman

"If you hear the dogs, keep going. If you see the torches in the woods, keep going. If there's shouting after you, keep going. Don't ever stop. Keep going. If you want a taste of freedom, keep going." After her almost superhuman efforts in making her own escape from slavery, Harriet Tubman returned to the South nineteen times bringing away with her over three hundred fugitives. She was sent by Governor Andrew of Massachusetts to the South at the beginning of the Civil War to act as spy and scout for our armies, and to be employed as hospital nurse when needed. This classic bestseller edition of "The Moses of Her People" is Volume 6 of the Black History Series. It is printed on high quality paper with an attractive, durable cover.
