Synopsis "Harriet Tubman and Colonel Robert Gould Shaw: The Forgotten Partnership to Abolish Slavery"

The dramatic story of the forgotten relationship between Harriet Tubman and the North's first black regiment, the famous 54th Massachusetts Infantry, was a meaningful one. Tubman was so closely connected to the "Glory" regiment that she deserved the title as the Godmother of the 54th Massachusetts. Harriet also formed a close relationship with the regimental commander, Colonel Robert Gould Shaw, who was killed in the assault on Fort Wagner. Tubman served the last meal to Colonel Shaw, before he became a martyr and an idol to the abolitionist community across the North. For the first time, this ground-breaking book tells the full story of Tubman's close connection to Colonel Shaw and his elite regiment during the struggle to destroy slavery.
