Harriet Tubman's Civil War Service Documented for the Historical Record

Sarah Bradford publishes 'Scenes in the Life of Harriet Tubman' to help Tubman raise money. The book begins the historical record of Tubman's service as Union spy, scout, and the only woman to lead an armed military raid in the Civil War — the Combahee River Raid (1863), which freed 700 enslaved people.
