This book was part of a series reviewed for class. The text was dry and the information was superficial. I would not encourage students to read this book.

I reviewed multiple books in the settling the west series, and found them to be seriously lacking in terms of both information and readability. The text is boring, and the information provided is superficial and often presented without necessary context.

I read four books in the impact Biography series. This one was the one I enjoyed the most. The reason why may be that there were fictional elements, for example, conversations Tubman had. In this sense, this book may not have been the most historically accurate book. However, as the book had a bibliography and source notes, one can conclude that the information as a whole was accurate.
