| Summary |
"Harriet, the Moses of Her People" by Sarah H. Bradford is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book chronicles the life of Harriet Tubman, a remarkable figure known for her pivotal role in the Underground Railroad, where she courageously led hundreds of slaves to freedom following her own escape from bondage. The opening of the narrative introduces readers to the early life of Harriet Tubman, depicting her childhood amidst the hardships of slavery on a Southern plantation. It highlights her physical and emotional struggles, including a severe injury inflicted by her master, which plagued her throughout her life. As Harriet matures, her innate desire for freedom ignites, leading her to contemplate the future of her people. The section sets the stage for Tubman's eventual transformation into a fierce advocate for her community, driven by profound faith and unwavering determination. Through vivid illustrations of her aspirations, and her evolving spiritual connection, the opening establishes the heroic “Moses” persona Tubman would embody as she embarks on her dangerous missions to liberate others from slavery.
