Description
The Combahee River Raid: A Legendary Effort in the Fight for Freedom In 1863, a pivotal moment in the American Civil War took place on the Combahee River. Colonel James Montgomery led a daring raid, joined by Harriet Tubman, to gather recruits and bring justice to the plantations. The operation was a resounding success, rescuing approximately 750 enslaved individuals, with only one soldier lost in the action. This remarkable true story marked a significant shift in the war, as the fight was taken to the civilians. The Combahee River Raid is a testament to the bravery and determination of those who fought for freedom. Author Jeff W. Grigg brings this fascinating account to life, shedding light on a pivotal moment in American history. Through meticulous research, Grigg presents a compelling narrative of the Combahee River Raid, a story that has become a legend in its own right.
