Harriet Tubman escaped slavery, helped dozens make it to freedom, and
then became an abolitionist and women's rights advocate. Here's the
remarkable life story of an American hero, told in an exciting graphic
novel format.
Harriet Tubman lived an incredible life, one more heroic than any comic
book superhero. In 1849 she escaped slavery for the first time. Then she
headed back into the South, helping about 70 slaves find freedom on more
than a dozen dangerous journeys along an elaborate abolitionist network
called the Underground Railroad. Harriet Tubman: Fighter for Freedom!
is the latest in the Show Me History! collection, previously featuring
the stories of real-life American luminaries such as Abraham Lincoln,
Alexander Hamilton, and Martin Luther King, Jr. Like the rest of Show Me
History!, and befitting her almost unbelievable life, Fighter for
Freedom! is presented in full-color, graphic novel format--a long-form
comic book.
