Harriet Tubman's and John Bowley's Most Excellent Adventure

This book introduces children to the true story of the daring escape that Harriet Tubman and John Bowley successfully devised to free their family from an auction block in Maryland in 1850. It was Tubman's first attempt to rescue anyone from the harsh conditions of human bondage. Kessiah Bowley, John Bowley's (a free Black) bound wife, was the accepted "sister" of Harriet Tubman. After Tubman escaped enslavement in 1849, she vowed to help other to be free too - especially her family. Harriet Tubman and John Bowley, a master seaman, concocted a dangerous scheme to free Kessiah and her children off an auction block in front of hundreds of potential slave buyers. Seventeen years later, one of the John and Kessiah's children came to Georgetown, S.C., and continued the legacy of helping to improve the lives of newly freed black Americans.
