Harriet Tubman's fame as a conductor on the Underground Railroad led to her nickname: Moses. She displayed considerable courage leading fugitive slaves to freedom and, incredibly, never lost a "passenger." Less well known is Tubman's service in the Union army as a scout and spy during the Civil War. This captivating volume uses Tubman's own remembrances as well as other primary sources to provide a greater understanding of her astonishing life story as well as major issues of the United States in the 1800s. Historic photographs, fact boxes, and sidebars add valuable information to the main text and appealing design.

      Gr 3-5-These new installations in the series SLJ previously called "attractive and substantive" are sure to please students seeking accessible yet informative materials for report writing, as well as educators. Brief quotes from diary entries and letters appear throughout, providing context (for instance, Harriet Tubman offers information on the devastating effects of slavery) and making important historical figures accessible. Maps and reproductions, as well as the sepia pages, which give the volumes an appropriately old-fashioned air, add to the tone. Engaging and effective.
