Harriet Tubman has gained iconic status as a true American heroine
worthy of celebration today, not only in the United States, but also
around the world. But many myths and legends have obscured this
remarkable woman of courage and faith. Therefore, to truly understand
the "Black Moses," it is now time to take a closer look at the real
person, and this can best be achieved by exploring her religious life
and experiences in Maryland, before she escaped slavery. This book is
the first-ever volume dedicated to what was most important to Harriet
Tubman, a freedom fighter and lover of liberty, and it motivated her to
achieve herculean tasks that continue to be celebrated today, a powerful
and intense religious faith.
