Harriet Tubman is a well-known heroine of the Civil War era, but I was not aware of her many roles. This historical fiction brought her to life showing that her many feats in rescuing slaves were just a part of her as a human being. The book not only gave insight into her drive to help her people, but also into her personal struggles.
She is so well-known in her work with the Underground Railroad, but I know very little of her role with the Union Army. Cobbs also brought to life Tubman's efforts in making men aware of the abilities of women.
I found the quotes from various documents and people during the time very well chosen.
While the book is fiction, it brings that period of our history to life and encourages me to read more about Harriet Tubman.
