Harriet Tubman, a woman of unique qualities and abilities even though she was illiterate, maintained an unblemished record of vigilance, legacy of sacrifice and struggle.  Harriet Tubman weaves a tale of truth, pain, courage, and determination that take the audience into her life:  from enslaved woman to eventual escape and the United States Government soliciting her unique talent.  They enlisted her as a scout and spy for the Union cause and she battled courageously behind enemy lines during the Civil War.
