About this book
Harriet Tubman is a legendary figure in the history of American slavery and the Underground Railroad. In the introduction to this compelling volume, Lois Horton reveals the woman behind the legend and addresses the ways in which Tubmans mythic status emerged in her own lifetime and beyond. Going beyond mere biography, Horton weaves through Tubmans story the larger history of slavery, the antislavery movement, the Underground Railroad, the increasing sectionalism of the pre-Civil War era, as well as the war and post-war Reconstruction. A rich collection of accompanying documents — including the Fugitive Slave Acts, letters, newspaper articles, advertisements and tributes to Tubman — shed light on Tubmans relationships with key abolitionist figures such as Frederick Douglass and William Lloyd Garrison; her role in the womens rights movement; and her efforts on behalf of fugitive slaves and freed blacks through the Civil War and beyond. A chronology of Tubmans life, along with questions for consideration and a selected bibliography, enhance this important volume.
