I just finished The Tubman Command by Elizabeth Cobbs. Having grown up in a neighboring town to Auburn, New York, I visited Tubman’s farm and Secretary Seward’s home and have always been interested in Harriet, In school, I learned about Harriet, “Moses,” and what she did with the Underground Railroad. Mentioned was the fact that she was a spy for the North during the Civil War, but I had no idea how much she did! Cobbs explores this time period. As the reader, I felt like I was walking in Tubman’s shoes through the excellent research and writing of Elizabeth Cobbs. Harriet Tubman exemplifies courage. This tiny woman who suffered a brain injury as a child risked her life time and time again. Lover of history will want to read this book. I received an ARC from BookishFirst in exchange for an honest review.
