Celebrated for her courageous exploits as a conductor on the Underground Railroad, Harriet Tubman has entered history as one of 19th-century America's most enduring and important figures. But just who was this remarkable woman? To John Brown, leader of the Harpers Ferry slave uprising, she was General Tubman. For the many slaves she led north to freedom, she was Moses. To the slaveholders who sought her capture, she was a thief and a trickster. To abolitionists, she was a prophet. Now, in a biography widely praised for its impeccable research and its compelling narrative, Harriet Tubman is revealed for the first time as a singular and complex character, a woman who defied simple categorization.

Harriet Tubman's life is an inspiration and Catherine Clinton tells it very well. I did not know that Tubman was so fearless in her rescues and never got caught while freeing slaves through the Underground Railroad. To be clear, only about half the book is the actual biography of Harriet Tubman, the rest of the book is expansive filler material on slavery in general and the U. S. history that is pertinent to Tubman's life. But, I must say, Catherine Clinton's "filler material" is very interesting and informative, and includes material and perspectives not available in other histories of the period.Catherine Clinton is a great writer. I have read her biography of Fanny Kemble as well.
The reader does very well, and I enjoyed listening to her with one notable exception. That exception is the repeated mispronunciation of the word "clandestine" which recurs throughout the book. It is very irritating and I'm amazed that no one in the "Audible/Amazon" organization caught it.
Good audiobook, inspiring story
