Professional Reviews
: New York Times Book Review: "Read with the care Humez's introduction to the documentary section of her book prescribes, the collection of Tubman sources she has assembled provide the basis for a far fuller and more complex portrait than has hitherto been available. These contermporary observations and descriptions...offer us the best opportunity to begin to understand how and why Harriet Tubman 'rocked the world.'"

More Information
Details: In this scholarly biography of the "general" of the Underground Railroad, Humez recounts the life and achievements of Harriet Tubman, and examines a vast amount of primary source material from Tubman's time, much of it drawn from her efforts in the abolitionist movement. Humez examines how Tubman's life story was presented by her to others through her public appearances and interviews, and how it was represented some of her contemporaries.
