Interested in myths about Harriet Tubman?

In an interview available on House Divided’s YouTube channel, Kate Larson explains several myths surrounding the famous Underground Railroad conductor, Harriet Tubman. “The most important ones to talk about,” she explains “is the myth about returning to the south nineteen times and rescuing 300 people.” She further expounds that these myths developed from an early Tubman biography by Sarah Bradford. If interested in following the development of such a myth, Bradford’s book, “Harriet, the Moses of Her People,” is available at the ever expanding Google Books, a great place resource for early Tubman historiography and myths.
