 Who was Harriet Tubman before she was Harriet? We know her today as Harriet Tubman, but in her lifetime she was called by many names. As General Tubman she was a Union spy. As Moses she led hundreds to freedom on the Underground Railroad. As Minty she was a slave whose spirit could not be broken. As Araminta she was a young girl whose father showed her the stars and the first steps on the path to freedom. Follow Harriet Tubman in a reverse tale of her amazing life in this book about a true heroine. (Prepared by: Jill Williams, Northside Elementary. Jbwillia@rhmail.org for South Carolina Book Award)
