Harriet Tubman was born into slavery. As young as age twelve, she resisted the abuses of the white families she was forced to work for, defending a man who tried to escape from a violent slaveowner who struck her in the head hard enough to have lasting impacts on her health. After Harriet's own escape from slavery, she returned multiple times as a "conductor" of the Underground Railroad, leading many more people to freedom.

This book is laced with numerous illustrations, and the back of the book includes a timeline, questions, activities, and a glossary, making it the perfect addition to a classroom or home school setting. Perfect for emerging readers, the Childhood of Famous Americans series illustrates the incredible true stories of great Americans.
