Summary: WOW! GREAT BOOK!
Review: I thought this book was great. For a report I had to do, this was wonderful and helpful! I do wished she'd used more of the actual dialog though. It was so good, I thought it was historical fiction! She makes you feel as though you are traveling with Harriet Tubman on the Underground Railroad! READ THIS BOOK;>)

Summary: A very good book that I would recommend to anyone!
Review: The book is about a girl who had an unusual life as a child. Harriet Tubman suffered a lot during her life time. She risked her life to help slaves and take them to the North. If you like adventure and a very descriptive book you should read it. You learn and experience what it was like during her time.Harriet Tubman never gave up. I especially liked how the book had historical facts at the end of each chapter to explain what was going on during her events. It was an interesting and exciting book, a page turner. You don't have to like history to read this book. You'll get hooked anyway.

Summary: Harriet Tubman ***Conductor on the Underground Railroad
Review: This book is basically about the life of the courageous Harriet Tubman. She was born a slave on a Maryland plantation. She grew up to become a woman of great moral courage. Harriet was the first to escape alone on the Underground Railroad to reach freedom, and then go back. She led over three hundred black men, women, and children past swamps, forests, rivers, and secret hiding places. Harriet Tubman never got caught, and never lost a passenger, and people that she helped called her "Moses."The reason I had to read this book was for a class assignment. Our class assignment was called "Literature Circles." We were put into groups to read and discuss the book our teacher assigned us. Fortunately, we got this one. At first, I didn't think that this would be good book, but as I got in to it more, it became more interesting. It was an "okay" book. My favorite part in the book was when they were talking about Harriet Greene a.k.a. Old Rit. When I read this certain part in the beginning it made me laugh. It was hilarious. They kept on talking about how many children she had. Also how and what they named their children. I don't know why, but I just thought that part was amusing.

Summary: Harriet Tubman By Andrew Wu Period 1
Review: This is a good book to read if you're interested in non-fiction books. This book was given to me and my book members in Mrs. Shea's class. We were doing Literature Circles and Mrs. Shea gave my group this book to do it on. It's a good book to read if you're bored, and you may even learn something. So maybe you could put it on you're summer reading list.
I liked this book because the adventure and the daring rescues. I liked the first time she ran away because it showed courage and the determination to be free. Many slaves in history showed this, even though they didn't know where to go. After she reached North, she went back after sometime and rescued more and more slaves. The journeys were dangerous, but Harriet went on with determination to help the slaves be free. Now, I'll talk about what I disliked about the book.
One thing I disliked about this book was that in every Chapter in the end, there's a passage that informs you on a person in the chapter. I find this very annoying and I skipped it after I read each chapter. I also disliked it when Harriet first tried to run away with her three brothers. Her brothers betrayed her and made her go back. Also, I don't like Mr. Tubman, a free Negro. He had said to Harriet that if she ran away, he would betray her. These are the parts I didn't like about the book.

Summary: A Devoted Heroin
Review: Wow, a book that is worth hundreds of awards. Harriet Tubman comes alive in this book. Born as a slave in Tidewater maryland, Hariet grows to become a young woman whose first resistsance of slavery starts when a plantation overseer tries to punish a slave for trying to escape. Hariet adquires a huge gash on her forehead from a brick the overseer threw at the slave. However it missed and hit Harriet. Harriet's nickname Minta becomes Harriet which fits the woman she has become. Harriet's dream for freedom never ceases as her first attempt to espace is proven useles with the denial of her brothers. Then her second attempt to escape with her husband proves successful but without here husband who feared the overseers and plantation owners. the underground railroad which served as a passageway for slaves stopping at certain houses(stations) for food and support; helped Harriet escape to the North in Philadelphia.Along the way she meets a man named Thomas Garret, a Quaker who helps God's poor, or the slaves. In Philadelphia she meets William Still who helps here get settled in the North. From this, Harriet returns to the plantation to lead other slaves to freedom. Though her main mission was to free her relatives, she frees other slaves who were about to be sold to chain gangs on other plantations. She rescued babies,men,women, and children. In the end she rescued a total of over 300 fugitive slves with the help of William Still, Thomas Garret,Gerrit Smith, along with the friendly families of the undergroung railroad. Through this accomplishment she became known as Moses. In 1861-1865 during the civil war, she contributed invaluable service as a scout, spy and nurse at a fugitive slave hospital. When the slaves were freed, in 1863, and the war was over, in 1865, Harriet turned her efforts to women's sufferage, giving speeches, and becoming involved in raising money for schools. Still, Harriet would send vegetabels to different houses for work and people invited her to come in and tell them stories of her life. She would tell them about the life on the Railroad, John Brown, and General Montgomery in the civil war who commanded the Black Regiment. Two books were published about her life written by Ms. bradford but told by Harriet Tubman. When she finished with her stories, Harriet would always say she never ran her train off the track and she never lost a passenger. Harriet died on March 10, 1913 in Auburn N.Y. Her tombstone is erected with her quote at the end of her stories. I appreciate this book greatly because it brought me even closer to my heritage. It taught me the true power of a person who didn't give up even though those around her doubted it. People talk about heroes and Harriet Tubman is definetly on that list of heroes and should be first. I deeply honor and respect Harriet Tubman along with the other slaves and leaders who fought for the advancement of African Americans. Freedom and happiness is a God-given right that no man can ever take away, this is God's Law not human law. I hope hat one day I can do great things for poeple like Harriet Tubman.
