Review: I first read this book nearly 10 years ago in 5th grade and to this very day I remember it. It greatly contributed to my committment to work for international human rights. Today, I'm a Student-Area Coordinator for Amnesty International, helping to get other young people to work for human rights.

Summary: Presentation is excellent. Subject matter is unforgettable.
Review: In 1960, at age 13, I read a book by Dorothy Sterling, and I recall the title being "Slave Train." The synopsis of "Freedom Train" seems to match what I remember. If they are indeed the same book, I can only say I was deeply impressed by this work and have never forgotten it. Bravo! Dorothy Sterling for keeping the youth of our nation aware of the greatness of Harriet Tubman!
