Celebrated for her courageous exploits as a conductor on the Underground Railroad; Harriet Tubman has entered history as one of nineteenth-century America's most enduring and important figures. But just who was this remarkable woman? To John Brown; leader of the Harpers Ferry slave uprising; she was General Tubman. For the many slaves she led north to freedom; she was Moses. To the slaveholders who sought her capture; she was a thief and a trickster. To abolitionists; she was a prophet. Now; in a biography widely praised for its impeccable research and its compelling narrative; Harriet Tubman is revealed for the first time as a singular and complex character; a woman who defied simple categorization.
