Harriet Tubman, Secret Agent

$5.95

By Thomas B Allen

How daring slaves and free Blacks spied for the Union during the Civil War.

After Harriet Tubman escaped slavery she went back again and again to guide other slaves to freedom. Slaveholders in the South offered rewards of thousands of dollars to catch this small Black woman who carried a gun and was ready to use it.

It's 1863, Harriet Tubman is facing one of the biggest—and most dangerous—challenges of her life. She risked her life countless times to lead runaway slaves to freedom along the Underground Railroad. Now she has a new roll—that of a Union spy!

The outcome of a secret night raid deep into Confederate territory depends on the accuracy of the intelligence she and other Black spies have gathered.

"...illustrated with numerous archival images, maps, and woodcuts, and the documentation is meticulous...an excellent resource for students' research."—Booklist
