Harriet Tubman: Negro Soldier and Abolitionist.

Harriet Tubman and the role of Black Americans at War

Harriet Tubman as Soldier, Nurse, and National Icon

First edition, first printing of this important Tubman biography, published during World War II by a left-leaning press in an abridged form; the complete work appeared the following year through Carter G. Woodson’s Associated Publishers. Conrad’s pamphlet expands Tubman’s image beyond the Underground Railroad, highlighting her roles as Union scout, nurse, and militant activist. Published in 1942 amid renewed focus on Black military service and civil rights, it helped establish her as both a figure of resistance and a symbol of national patriotism. Specific to the twentieth-century, among the first mass-market portrayals to elevate her as a national icon.
