Originally published in 1869, Sarah H. Bradford’s classic biography of Harriet Tubman is based on interviews with Tubman herself, as well as others who knew her. The book follows her incredible story from her birth into slavery in Dorchester County, Maryland, through her role in the Underground Railroad and her service during the Civil War, and includes letters from a number of individuals including Frederick Douglass, Gerrit Smith, and William H. Seward, in addition to other primary source documentation. The book was published to raise funds for Tubman’s support, and continues to be a bestseller a century and a half later.

Bald Cypress Books is pleased to offer a new edition of the story of an American hero.
