Combee : Harriet Tubman, the Combahee River Raid, and Black freedom during the Civil War

Harriet Tubman, the Combahee River Raid, and Black freedom during the Civil War (portion title)
Fields-Black, Edda L. (author.).

Summary: "This book offers the first full account of Harriet Tubman's Civil War service and the Combahee River Raid. It details how Tubman commanded a ring of spies, scouts, and pilots and participated in military expeditions behind Confederate lines. It also recounts the story of enslaved families living in bondage and fighting for their freedom, using their own distinct and individual voices. The book uses more than 175 US Civil War pension files of the regiments of Second South Carolina Volunteers, including Tubman's. It is based on original documentation and written by a descendant of the enslaved men and women who fought in it, and in the process liberated themselves."--
