Si desea descubrir la fascinante vida de Harriet Tubman, siga leyendo...Harriet Tubman era conocida como 'conductora' del 'Ferrocarril Subterráneo'. Pero no se trataba de un ferrocarril que transportara trenes y mercancías, sino de vidas humanas que buscaban desesperadamente la libertad. Se trataba de un grupo clandestino de individuos (de ahí el nombre de 'clandestino', en inglés 'underground') repartidos por todo Estados Unidos y Canadá que ayudaban a facilitar la migración de los atrapados en la lacra de la esclavitud del Sur hacia los llamados estados y provincias libres del Norte.Los años de esclavitud de Harriet fueron terribles, y tenía las cicatrices para demostrarlo. También tenía dolores de cabeza recurrentes desde que una pesa de medio kilo utilizada para pesar los productos la golpeó en la cabeza. Ni las cicatrices ni los dolores de cabeza la abandonaron nunca, y le sirvieron de recordatorio constante de lo que había pasado. De hecho, algunas biografías afirman que, a medida que envejecía, los dolores de cabeza empeoraban.Pero Harriet era una luchadora. E insistía en que los que la rodeaban tuvieran también ese mismo espíritu de lucha. Su férrea determinación se forjó en el ferrocarril subterráneo, donde dar marcha atrás significaba la esclavitud, un severo castigo y posiblemente la muerte. Harriet Tubman recorrió los caminos secundarios en plena noche, con la única ayuda de su ingenio y su fe en Dios.En Harriet Tubman: Una guía fascinante de una abolicionista estadounidense que se convirtió en la conductora más famosa del ferrocarril subterráneo, descubrirá temas como:Nunca másLa visión de Harriet comienza a tomar formaHarriet se lanza a la libertadLas primeras incursiones en el Ferrocarril SubterráneoLa general Tubman toma el mandoHarriet al frente de batallaCon la ayuda de su familia y amigosPreparando un lugar para Harriet Tubman¡Y mucho, mucho más!¡Adquiera este libro ahora para saber más sobre Harriet Tubman!
