Harriet Tubman: Conductor on the Underground Railroad was praised by the New Yorker as “[A]n evocative portrait” and by the Chicago Tribune as “[S]uperb”. It is a gripping and accessible portrait of the heroic woman who guided more than 300 slaves to freedom and who is expected to be the face of the new $20 bill.

Harriet Tubman was born a slave and dreamed of being free. She was willing to risk everything - including her own life - to see that dream come true. After her daring escape, Harriet became a conductor on the secret Underground Railroad, helping others make the dangerous journey to freedom.

This award-winning introduction to the late abolitionist, which was named an ALA Notable Book and a New York Times Outstanding Book, also includes a supplemental PDF with educational back matter such as a timeline, discussion questions, and extension activities.

A real superhero

Marvel and DC characters have nothing on Harriet Tubman. She was a real life superhero.

A revelation

I had long heard of Harriet Tubman, but never read her story. Anyone who wants to learn about the American experience,, should read this beautifully written piece of national and personal History. Beautifully narrated. I often do not finish books and rarely find a page turner. This is one of the better books I have ever read. Harriet Tubman is a National Treasure.

Inspiring

Everyone should read this book. I’ve listened to it 4 times now. This book inspired me to visit Cambridge, MD.

Underground Railroad

A very moving story of a brave woman. Harriet was always there for slaves and took many risks to bring them to freedom. Every day of her life was given to help others. What an amazing book.

Smitten with awe

Extraordinary in depth and detail. Harriet’s life and legacy endure through the ages. Freedom sought was freedom possessed.

Excellent narration and enjoyable content.

This book was very informative and extremely easy to listen to. I listen to Audible on my daily walks and some books require more concentration than can be given on a walk/run. This book kept my attention with the stories from Harriett’s life. Not just a bunch of facts.
