Harriet the Moses of Her People (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781169231610)

""Harriet The Moses Of Her People"" is a non-fiction book written by Sarah H. Bradford. The book tells the story of Harriet Tubman, an African American woman who escaped slavery and became a conductor on the Underground Railroad, leading hundreds of slaves to freedom. The book chronicles her life from her early years as a slave in Maryland, her escape to freedom, and her work as a conductor on the Underground Railroad. It also explores her role as a spy and nurse during the Civil War, and her continued activism for civil rights after the war. The book is a tribute to the courage and determination of Harriet Tubman and her important contribution to the abolition of slavery.The way was so toilsome over the rugged mountain passes, that often the men who followed her would give out, and foot-sore, and bleeding, they would drop on the ground, groaning that they could not take another step. They would lie there and die, or if strength came back, they would return on their steps, and seek their old homes again. Then the revolver carried by this bold and daring pioneer, would come out, while pointing it at their heads she would say, ""Dead niggers tell no tales; you go on or die!"" And by this heroic treatment she compelled them to drag their weary limbs along on their northward journey.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
