Harriet Tubman, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Clara Barton, Julia Ward Howe, and Sarah Josepha Hale came from backgrounds that ranged from abject enslavement to New York Citys elite. Surmounting social and political obstacles, they emerged before and during the worst crisis in American history, the Civil War. Their actions became strands in a tapestry of courage, truth, and patriotism that influenced the lives of millions--and illuminated a new way forward for the nation. In this collective biography, The Better Angels, Robert C. Plumb traces these five remarkable womens awakenings to analyze how their experiences shaped their responses to the challenges, disappointments, and joys they encountered on their missions. Here is Tubman, fearless conductor on the Underground Railroad, alongside Stowe, the author who awakened the nation to the evils of slavery. Barton led an effort to provide medical supplies for field hospitals, and Union soldiers sang Howes Battle Hymn of the Republic on the march. And, amid national catastrophe, Hales campaign to make Thanksgiving a national holiday moved North and South toward reconciliation. Robert C. Plumb is a writer, historian, and former marketing executive for two Fortune 500 companies. He is the author of Your Brother in Arms: A Union Soldiers Odyssey and has written for the Montgomery County Historical Societys journal, the Washington Post, and the Washington Post Magazine.
