À propos de ce contenu audio
Harriet Tubman is one of the most iconic figures in American history, yet much of her true story has long been fragmented, misunderstood, or incomplete. While countless books recount her courage on the Underground Railroad, few explore the full scope of her strategic brilliance, military service, and lifelong leadership.
Harriet Tubman sets out to correct the record. Drawing on research and rare family oral history, authors Jean Marie Wiesen and Rita Daniels—Tubman's great-great-great-grandniece—present the first biography to involve a Tubman family member since Harriet herself was interviewed in 1886.
This groundbreaking work reveals how Harriet's childhood head injury limited her ability to complete early biographical interviews, leading to omissions that persisted for generations. It also uncovers her ancestral roots in Ghana, her role as a Union Army scout, spy, and strategist during the Civil War, and her tireless postwar activism as a suffragist, community leader, and founder of the Harriet Tubman Home for the Aged.
This book offers a nuanced portrait of a woman whose intelligence, resilience, and moral clarity shaped American history—and whose legacy continues to resonate today.
