Harriet The Moses Of Her People is a biography written by Sarah H. Bradford about the life 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 covers Tubman's childhood, her escape from slavery, her work as a conductor on the Underground Railroad, her involvement in the Civil War as a nurse, cook, and spy, and her later years as an advocate for women's suffrage. Bradford's biography provides an intimate look at Tubman's life and the struggles she faced as a black woman in the 19th century. It also highlights her bravery, determination, and unwavering commitment to helping others. Harriet The Moses Of Her People is a powerful and inspiring account of one of America's greatest heroes.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.
