Harriet Tubman's social activism as well as her efforts as a
soldier, nurse, and spy have been retold in countless books and
films and have justly elevated her to iconic status in American
history. Given her fame and contributions, it is surprising how
little is known of her later years and her continued efforts for
social justice, women's rights, and care for the elderly. Tubman
housed and cared for her extended family, parents, brothers,
sisters, nieces, and nephews, as well as many other African
Americans seeking refuge. Ultimately her house just outside of
Auburn, New York, would become a focal point of Tubman's expanded
efforts to provide care to those who came to her seeking shelter
and support, in the form of the Harriet Tubman Home for the Aged.
In this book, Armstrong reconstructs and interprets Tubman's public
and private life in freedom through integrating his archaeological
findings with historical research. The material record Tubman left
behind sheds vital light on her life and the ways in which she
interacted with local and national communities, giving readers a
fuller understanding of her impact on the lives of African
Americans. Armstrong's research is part of a wider effort to
enhance public interpretation and engagement with the Harriet
Tubman Home.
