comes an astonishing re-imagining of the remarkable life of Harriet
Tubman, the “Moses of Her People.”
Tubman was an escaped slave, lumberjack, laundress, raid leader,
nurse, fund-raiser, cook, intelligence gatherer, Underground
Railroad organizer, and abolitionist. In Harriet Tubman,
Lowry creates a portrait enriched with lively imagined vignettes
that transform the legendary icon into flesh and blood. We travel
with Tubman on slave-freeing raids in the heart of the Confederacy,
along the treacherous route of the Underground Railroad, and onto
the battlefields of the Civil War. Integrating extensive research
and interviews with scholars and historians into a rich and
mesmerizing chronicle, Lowry brings an American hero to life as
never before.
“A swiftly paced, fascinating read. . . . Lowry has a ripe
subject in Tubman.”
—Boston Globe
“Harriet Tubman is a biography that goes to the core of
character, using the record to create a fully imagined life.”
—The New York Sun
“Lowry’s dramatic retelling seems thoroughly researched. . . .
[Her] method produces vivid scenes of Tubman’s life.”
—The New York Times
