Bound for Promised Land

Harriet Tubman is one of the giants of American history -a fearless visionary who led scores of her fellow slaves to freedom and battled courageously behind enemy lines during the Civil War. Historian Kate Clifford Larson gives us a powerful, intimate, meticulously detailed portrait of Tubman and her times. Drawing from a trove of documents and sources as well as extensive genealogical data, Larson reveals Tubman as the complex woman she was -brilliant, shrewd, deeply religious, and passionate in her pursuit of freedom. A true American hero, Tubman was also a woman who loved, suffered, and sacrificed.
