EDDA L. FIELDS-BLACK’s Combee: Harriet Tubman, the Combahee River Raid, and Black Freedom During the Civil War is the story of the Combahee River raid, during which Tubman ventured into South Carolina slave territory to live, work, and gather intelligence for an attack on major Confederate plantations – an extraordinary accomplishment that helped to define the distinctly American Gullah Geechee dialect, culture, and identity. TIYA MILES’ intimate Night Flyer: Harriet Tubman and the Faith Dreams of a Free People (Significations) adds depth and humanity to someone who otherwise might seem more a comic book superhero than a historic icon.
