Additional information
by Sarah H. Bradford (Author)
A biographical account of Harriet Tubman, drawn from interviews and contemporary testimony, documenting her work as conductor, guide, and leader on the Underground Railroad. Sarah H. Bradford's narrative presents Tubman's life through a series of episodes that trace her escape from enslavement and her repeated returns to the South to assist others to freedom. The work is grounded in direct recollection and preserves details that later retellings often smooth over or omit.
Bradford's account emphasizes Tubman's practical intelligence, endurance, and moral resolve, situating her within the broader context of abolitionist activity while maintaining a close focus on her individual actions. The narrative also reflects the conditions of publication in the nineteenth century, when Tubman's story circulated both as documentation and as advocacy.
This edition presents the original text in a clear and stable format, retaining the tone and structure of the source while ensuring readability for contemporary use.
