Sarah Hopkins Bradford (August 20, 1818 - June 25, 1912) was an American writer and historian, best known today for her two pioneering biographical books on Harriet Tubman. Most of her work consists of children's literature.
Harriet, the Moses of her people. Page 3. PREFACE. THE title I have given my black heroine, in this second edition of her story, viz.: THE MOSES OF HER PEOPLE, may seem a little ambitious, considering that this Moses was a woman, and that she succeeded in piloting only three or four hundred slaves from the land of bondage to the land of freedom.
A new edition of Bradford's classic 1886 biography of Harriet Tubman. A pioneering work, it relied heavily on extensive interviews with Tubman herself. This work is also of interest as one of the first examples of a sympathetic white researcher (let alone a female non-fiction writer) focusing on African American subject matter.
In 1869, Sarah Hopkins Bradford published Scenes in the Life of Harriet Tubman. Though often disjointed, this account presented to the public a legendary figure of the Underground Railroad. In 1886, Bradford substantially rewrote the biography at the request of Tubman, who hoped its sales would raise enough funds for the building of a hospital ...

Sarah Hopkins Bradford (1818-1912) met Tubman's parents in a Sunday School class while visiting her brother in Auburn, New York, during the Civil War. When Tubman and her friends decided to publish Tubman's life story, Bradford was a logical choice to author the volume: she lived in nearby Geneva, New York and had already written biographies of ...
Harriet Tubman was born into slavery in a rural county of Maryland in 1822. In 1849, at age 27, she ran away, never to be enslaved again. She would return at her own peril over a dozen times throughout the next decade, leading others to northern freedom in New York and Canada.
