Sarah H. Bradford

Sarah Hopkins Bradford was an American writer and historian, best known today for her two pioneering biographies of Harriet Tubman. Scenes in the Life of Harriet Tubman appeared in 1869 and was written from Tubman's own account. Most of Bradford's work was children's literature, some of it published under the name Cousin Cicely. She lived to the age of ninety three, and her Tubman books remain valued as early accounts of that remarkable life.
