Harriet Tubman: The Moses of Her People by Sarah H. Bradford, Oliver Johnson
3.0
Originally published in 1869, the author, Sarah Bradford befriended Harriet in her later years and documented her life in Harriet's own words. What a valuable thing as without Ms. Bradford, we wouldn't have a true account of Harriet's heroism and the many quotes from her own lips (which are later used/referenced in almost every book written in Harriet). Ms. Bradford also used the profits from the sales of this book and its later publications to help Harriet financially in her old age.
This book was hard to follow though. The edition I have has no chapters (I know its a short book but its quite dense and chapters or breaks in the content would have helped) and Bradford shifts back and forth in the timeline and I often didn't know where I was. It was a struggle to finish and had it not been for the sheer historical significance of this book, I would have rated it a 2 star at most.
