Harriet Tubman: Conductor on the Underground Railroad by Ann Petry

3.0

I recently saw the movie Harriett which is about Harriett Tubman. This is a biography writte for the middle school level. So it is a little more simple that a full-length scholarly biography would be. You do get a sense for the amazing person Tubman was and the impact she had on those around her. The bulk of the book is on her earlier life and escape to freedom along with her work on the undground railroad. There is not very much here of her life after the underground railroad. She lived more than 50 years after those experiences and had many other accomplishments to her name.
