Publisher's Synopsis
This ground-breaking book brings into focus one of the most unique and special relationships in American history-the true story of the deep bond and working relationship that existed between two of America's leading abolitionists and revolutionaries, Harriet Tubman and John Brown. Working closely together as a dynamic revolutionary team, they improved upon the audacious plan to raid the United States arsenal at Harpers Ferry, Virginia. Brown's bold raid on Harpers Ferry in October 1859 helped to pave the way to the Civil War and the destruction of slavery. Harriet Tubman's vital role in the Harpers Ferry story and her alliance and friendship with John Brown have been presented in full for the first time.
