Reviewers called it “lively, authoritative.” The book portrays “a very human Tubman” whose “courage…is poignantly portrayed, with enough thrilling details of dangerous moments to make this interesting reading without lapsing into melodrama.”

Comment from a History Day student: "I checked out several books and yours was the best source of information out of all of the books that I used. It was very interesting and had the right amount of information, not too little and not too much over analyzing. It was fun to read."
