About this listen
Harriet Tubman was born a slave. She and her brothers, Ben and Henry, escaped from slavery on September 17, 1849. When her brothers later decided to return to slavery, she followed, but not for long for she soon escaped again.
Once free, she brought refugees from slavery in Maryland to freedom in Canada. In the fall of 1851, Tubman returned for the first time since her escape to find her husband, John. She once declared, "I had reasoned this out in my mind; there was one of two things I had a right to - liberty or death; if I could not have one, I would have the other; for no man should take me alive; I should fight for my liberty as song as my strength lasted, and when the time came for me to go, the Lord would let them take me."
She and uncounted others crossed the Suspension Bridge in Buffalo into Canada to set themselves free. Names and details about most freedom seekers remain unknown. Their safety lay in secrecy. Tubman personally let about 70 people to freedom.

Fascinating and wonderful
Fascinating and wonderful story of faith. Heartbreaking but a good insight into the lives of people forced into slavery.

oh my...
started this book and immediately felt the narration was derogatory and offensive. I had to go back to the title summary to check it wasn't a poor parody!
Now see from other reviews that it's not just me.
Audible, how was this felt to be the right choice of narrator for this book?
why are you still offering this in your library?

Hands down worst product ever
I found the narration for this story so unbearable that I put it down after half an hour. It almost sounds like its trying to be racist when impersonating the speech between characters. Dreadful
