- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This biography of Harriet Tubman was written during her lifetime as a fundraiser, the first edition to pay off the mortgage on Harriet's home to keep it from being sold, and the second edition to finance a hospital for African Americans. Harriet Tubman's exploits as a guide on the Underground Railroad are legendary, and the author is sensitive to potential criticism from skeptics. As a result, she included only those events that she could corroborate from other testimony. I was particularly moved by Harriet's faith in God's providence. She prayed about her needs as they arose, and soon afterward she would receive exactly what was needed - no more or no less. The book suffers from poor organization and repetitiveness. Readers who can overlook these faults will be inspired by the life, faith, and legacy of this remarkable woman.
