Harriet Tubman: The Moses of Her People

It's been a while since I've posted.  The family and I relocated 2 hours North of where we were.  Ya know... all the fun stuff: packing, sorting, packing, sorting, packing, sorting, UNpacking, sorting, UNpacking, sorting...

Anyhoo - :) - still in the midst of all the *fun* going on 'round here, I have been reading about Harriet Tubman: The Moses of Her People.  I bought my copy from Dover Publications...you may want to check them out.  They offer hundreds of books from all genre types.  Just do a GoodSearch*  for Dover Publications.  

So here is a quote that stuck out at me as I was reading this amazing woman's story:  
"These poor fugitives, hunted like partridges upon the mountains, or like the timid fox by the eager sportsman, were obliged in self-defense to meet cunning with cunning, and to borrow from the birds and animals their mode of eluding their pursuers by any device which in the exigency of the case might present itself to them.  They had a creed of their own, and a code of morals which we dare not criticise till we find our own lives and those of our dear ones similarly imperiled."

Take care of you!  Happy Reading and God Bless!
