Harriet Tubman: The Moses of her people - by Sarah Bradford (Used Paperback)

"... there can be no real understanding or appreciation of the great drama played out on American soil a century ago without some recognition of the humanitarian "instincts" which motivated some of it's principals. Harriet Tubman was examplar par excellence of that humanitarian spirit. What better evidence of this does one need than the absence of bitterness over the government's persistent refusal to reward her for four years of service as occasional agent behind enemy lines, as a scout for Union troops in the unfamiliar swamplands of the South, and as practical nurse in Ubion camp hospitals, ministering to all alike - Yankee soldier, captured rebel, and fleeing slave. Through her we are reintroduced to many of those who, like her, were humanely inspired with no thought of earthly reward to work for the overthrow of slavery." 149 pages, good condition
