📘 Harriet Tubman and the Fight for Freedom by Lois E. Horton

Harriet Tubman and the Fight for Freedom presents a detailed portrait of the 19th‑century abolitionist who guided hundreds of fugitive slaves to freedom via the Underground Railroad. Editor Lois E. Horton combines biographical narrative with contextual histories of American slavery, the antislavery movement, and the Civil War era. The work is enriched by a selection of primary documents—such as Fugitive Slave Acts, letters, newspaper articles, and ads—revealing Tubman’s interactions with key figures Frederick Douglass and William Lloyd Garrison, her participation in the women's rights movement, and her continued advocacy for freed blacks during and after the war. A chronology, discussion questions, and bibliography provide useful tools for students and researchers alike.
