Quien fue Harriet Tubman? /Who Was Harriet Tubman? (Quien Fue?/ Who Was?) (Spanish Edition)

Born a slave in Maryland, Harriet Tubman knew first-hand what it meant to be someone's property; she was whipped by owners and almost killed by an overseer. It was from other field hands that she first heard about the Underground Railroad which she travelled by herself north to Philadelphia. Throughout her long life (she died at the age of ninety-two) and long after the Civil War brought an end to slavery, this amazing woman was proof of what just one person can do. Spanish Description: Al haber nacido como esclava en el estado de Maryland, Harriet Tubman supo, por experiencia propia, lo que significaba ser propiedad de otra persona. Sus duenos la azotaban con un latigo y uno de los capataces de la plantacion casi la mata. Fue de boca de otros trabajadores que oyo hablar por primera vez del Underground Railroad; por el cual viajó sola hasta el estado de Filadelfia.
