Harriet Tubman is one of the giants of American history--a fearless visionary who led scores of her fellow slaves to freedom and battled courageously behind enemy lines during the Civil War. And yet in the nine decades since her death, next to nothing has been written about this extraordinary woman aside from juvenile biographies. The truth about Harriet Tubman has become lost inside a legend woven of racial and gender stereotypes. Now at last, in this long-overdue biography, historian Kate Clifford Larson gives Harriet Tubman the powerful, intimate, meticulously detailed life she deserves.

Drawing from a trove of new documents and sources as well extensive genealogical research, Larson reveals Tubman as a complex woman-- brilliant, shrewd, deeply religious, and passionate in her pursuit of freedom. The descendant of the vibrant, matrilineal Asanti people of the West African Gold Coast, Tubman was born into slavery on the Eastern Shore of Maryland but refused to spend her life in bondage. While still a young woman she embarked on a perilous journey of self-liberation--and then, having won her own freedom, she returned again and again to liberate family and friends, tapping into the Underground Railroad.

Yet despite her success, her celebrity, her close ties with Northern politicians and abolitionists, Tubman suffered crushing physical pain and emotional setbacks. Stripping away myths and misconceptions, Larson presents stunning new details about Tubman's accomplishments, personal life, and influence, including her relationship with Frederick Douglass, her involvement with John Brown's raid on Harpers Ferry, and revelations about a young woman who may have been Tubman's daughter. Here too are Tubman's twilight years after the war, when she worked for women's rights and in support of her fellow blacks, and when racist politicians and suffragists marginalized her contribution.

Harriet Tubman, her life and her work, remain an inspiration to all who value freedom. Now, thanks to Larson's breathtaking biography, we can finally appreciate Tubman as a complete human being--an American hero, yes, but also a woman who loved, suffered, and sacrificed. Bound for the Promised Land is a magnificent work of biography, history, and truth telling.

I Noticed Improved Digestive Results
I really liked these Migcopat fiber gummies. I started taking them after a gap from my last supplement and noticed a change. I felt a positive impact on my digestive results. My bowel movements were easier to pass, cleaner, and more well-formed. The pectin-based gummies were a little above average size, but they were soft and easy to chew. They did not stick to my teeth at all. They were sugar-free. They came in a clear plastic bottle. The gummies had a tasty, natural blueberry flavor. A serving size was two or three gummies, giving twenty or thirty servings per container. The formula included biotin, keratin, zinc, apple cider vinegar, and other vitamins. I was very happy with the taste, the texture, and the results. The Supplement Facts print was small on the container - it was a little larger on the box.

Great blueberry aroma, easy to chew, sugar-free formula, long expiration date
The blueberry aroma when I open the jar is wonderful, and the taste is excellent. I really like that the texture breaks down pretty easily when chewed instead of sticking to my teeth. It is great to find a sugar-free option that packs in fiber, prebiotics, and probiotics, plus a few extras like biotin and collagen. I have been taking supplements like this for years, so I do not expect to feel any drastic changes, but everything is working well for me with no ill effects. It is also nice that the expiration date is clearly printed on both the box and the bottle, giving my batch about 23 months of shelf life. Pros ✅ Excellent blueberry taste and aroma. ✅ Soft texture breaks down easily without sticking to teeth. ✅ Sugar-free formula with a great 23-month expiration window. ✅ Includes hair and skin support ingredients like biotin and collagen. Neutrals – The 60-count bottle yields 20 to 30 servings depending on whether you take two or three gummies. Cons ❌ None observed, these are very pleasant to take.

Tasty, Easy to Take
This is the 3rd flavor of this brand that I've tried. I have to say that I preferred the grape and the little strawberry hearts better than these, as far as taste. These also are quite high in Biotin at 33,333% of the daily value, if you take the 3 gummies that equal 10g fiber. If you do want 10g of fiber the jar won't last an entire month. I don't really need the hair/nail support, so I'll probably go back to one of the other flavors. These are so easy to get out of the wide-mouth jar and they don't stick together too much. They're a soft gummy and are easy to chew. I don't tend to have an issue with them sticking to my teeth. The jar I received was manufactured in Apr 2026 and expires Apr 2028. Another reviewer mentioned that they're made in the USA, but I don't see that claim anywhere in the listing or on the product...although they're distributed by a New York company.

Fewer doses per jar, but good flavor
I've been using migcopat fiber gummies for a while now, and I'm a fan of the brand, so I thought I would give these a shot. I appreciate the addition of the biotin and keratin. This just only has one flavor instead of three, which is blueberry, but it's quite pleasant, not overly sweet. These gummies are a little softer than the other migcopat gummies, but again nothing wrong with that. I am knocking one star from the review because this jerk contains 20 doses when you take three per day as opposed to the other maker gummies that I have where there's a 30-day supply with taking three per day. For me, the addition of the biotin and keratin doesn't justify losing a third of my supplement.

Great value
This is 1 of those items that would take months to give a fair assessment. It takes time for things like this to get into your system. This was a vine item and I wanted to try them as fiber is very important after 50. But I can not speak to the effectiveness. I hope and expect there would be no side effects. Texture seems normal for something like this. Not sure if theres a odor. But seems a good value. Not sure about taste either.
