Description
The story of the Combahee River Raid, one of
Harriet Tubman's most extraordinary accomplishment
s, based on original documents and written by a
descendant of one of the participants.
Publishers Weekly Starred ReviewLibrary Journal
Starred ReviewBooklist Top Ten History Books of
2024Most Americans know of Harriet Tubman's
legendary life escaping enslavement in 1849,
she led more than 60 others out of bondage via
the Underground Railroad, gave instructions on
getting to freedom to scores more, and went on
to live a lifetime fighting for change. Yet the
many biographies, children's books, and films
about Tubman omit a crucial chapter during the
Civil War, hired by the Union Army, she ventured
into the heart of slave territory--Beaufort,
South Carolina--to live, work, and gather
intelligence for a daring raid up the Combahee
River to attack the major plantations of Rice
Country, the breadbasket of the Confederacy.Edda
L. Fields-Black--herself a descendent of one of
the participants in the raid--shows how Tubman
commanded a ring of spies, scouts, and pilots and
participated in military expeditions behind
Confederate lines. On June 2, 1863, Tubman and
her crew piloted two regiments of Black US Army
soldiers, the Second South Carolina Volunteers,
and their white commanders up coastal South
Carolina's Combahee River in three gunboats. In
a matter of hours, they torched eight rice
plantations and liberated 730 people, people
whose Lowcountry Creole language and culture
Tubman could not even understand. Black men who
had liberated themselves from bondage on South
Carolina's Sea Island cotton plantations after
the Battle of Port Royal in November 1861
enlisted in the Second South Carolina Volunteers
and risked their lives in the
7
effort.Using previous unexamined documents,
including Tubman's US Civil War Pension File,
bills of sale, wills, marriage settlements, and
estate papers from planters' families,
Fields-Black brings to life intergenerational,
extended enslaved families, neighbors, praise-
house members, and sweethearts forced to work in
South Carolina's deadly tidal rice swamps, sold,
and separated during the antebellum period. When
Tubman and the gunboats arrived and blew their
steam whistles, many of those people clambered
aboard, sailed to freedom, and were eventually
reunited with their families. The able-bodied
Black men freed in the Combahee River Raid
enlisted in the Second South Carolina
Volunteers and fought behind Confederate lines
for the freedom of others still enslaved not just
in South Carolina but Georgia and Florida. After
the war, many returned to the same rice
plantations from which they had escaped,
purchased land, married, and buried each other.
These formerly enslaved peoples on the Sea
Island indigo and cotton plantations, together
with those in the semi-urban port cities of
Charleston, Beaufort, and Savannah, and on rice
plantations in the coastal plains, created the
distinctly American Gullah Geechee dialect,
culture, and identity--perhaps the most
significant legacy of Harriet Tubman's Combahee
River Raid.
