Harriet, the Moses of Her People
Book Description:

In 1869, Sarah Hopkins Bradford publishedScenes in the Life of Harriet Tubman. Though often disjointed, this account presented to the public a legendary figure of the Underground Railroad. In 1886, Bradford substantially rewrote the biography at the request of Tubman, who hoped its sales would raise enough funds for the building of a hospital for old and disabled colored people. This second edition,Harriet, the Moses of Her People,provided little new information, but arranged the jumbled narrative ofScenesin chronological order, providing a clearer account of Tubman's life.A DOCSOUTH BOOK.

    ON a hot summer’s day, perhaps sixty years ago, a group of merry little darkies were rolling and tumbling in the sand in front of the large house of a Southern planter. Their shining skins gleamed in the sun, as they rolled over each other in their play, and their voices, as they chattered together, or shouted in glee, reached even to the cabins of the negro quarter, where the old people groaned in spirit, as they thought of the future of those unconscious young revelers; and their cry went up, “O, Lord, how long!”
