Now, in this magnificent biography, historian Kate Clifford Larson gives us a powerful, intimate, meticulously detailed portrait of Tubman and her times. Drawing from a trove of new documents and sources as well as extensive genealogical data, Larson presents Harriet Tubman as a complete human being--brilliant, shrewd, deeply religious, and passionate in her pursuit of freedom. A true American hero, Tubman was also a woman who loved, suffered, and sacrificed. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003ePraise for \u003ci\u003eBound for the Promised Land\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \" \u003ci\u003eBound for the Promised Land\u003c\/i\u003e] appropriately reads like fiction, for Tubman's exploits required such intelligence, physical stamina and pure fearlessness that only a very few would have even contemplated the feats that she actually undertook. . . .
