Moses of the Underground Railroad

In 1820, a black women named Harriet Tubman was born. She was a slave since she was a child, but in 1849 she escaped her slave owner and moved to a state against slavery called Pennsylvania. In 1850 she found a path called the underground railroad that was used to help slaves escape owners. For the next seven years, Harriet Tubman was the best conductor of the underground railroad. This book is very important because it tells the story of a great women who believed in what she did and never gave up which teaches us today to do the same. The book is organized with chapters which helps the reader not get confused as much.
