“Compelling . . . memorable . . . Tubman [takes] her rightful place as a visionary and a selfless leader.â€Â—USA Today  “It is a risky business to tamper with a national icon and trickier still to convey the full dimension of the individual behind the legend. But Kate Clifford Larson has accomplished both in her brilliant biography.â€Â—Smithsonian Magazine  “Epic . . . written with passion for the subject and meticulous attention to detail . . . [Larson’s] book is nothing less than an encyclopedic chronicle of a rip-roaring American adventure.â€Â—The San Antonio Express-News  “Skillfully written . . . Larson’s book includes several maps that help readers understand the workings of the Underground Railroad. . . . Larson present[s] a richly drawn portrait of Tubman as a deeply spiritual woman, a ‘Moses’ and ‘Joan of Ark’ as contemporaries were wont to describe her.â€Â—The Charlotte Observer “An engrossing biography of an extraordinary woman.â€Â—Green Bay Press–Gazette “Mesmerizing and exceedingly well-documented . . . As Larson recounts in absorbing incident after absorbing incident, the brilliant Harriet Tubman was courageous, witty, and as determined as a body could be.â€Â—Bay State Banner  “Historian Kate Clifford Larson gives Tubman the powerful, intimate, meticulously detailed life she deserves.†—The Herald American “A marvel of impressive scholarship and lucid prose.â€Â—The Seattle Times  “Although Tubman’s life story has been told before, it has never been told in such a comprehensive way.â€Â—(Salt Lake City) Deseret Morning News  “Larson’s thorough and readable effort is a must for armchair historians who haven’t looked at Tubman in a while, if ever.â€Â—Cape Cod TimesFrom the AuthorRead BOUND FOR THE PROMISED LAND and SEE the movie HARRIET!!See all Editorial Reviews
