Harriet Tubman




Harriet Tubman, The Most Famous Conductor On The Underground Railroad, Died March 10, 1913, In Auburn, New York. At The Time Of Her Death Tubman Had A $40,000 Bounty On Her Head.



Tubman Personally Rescued More Than 300 Slaves In Nineteen Trips To The South. She Was Known To Say: "I never ran a train off the track, and I never lost a passenger."


Often Called The "Moses Of her People," Harriet Tubman Was Born A Slave In Maryland Around 1820. When She Was 28, She Escaped And Fled North.



During The Civil War, Tubman Served As A Spy, Scout And Nurse For The Union Army. She Was The Only Woman To Successfully Undertake Operations In Enemy Territory. She Was Also The First And Probably Only Woman To Ever Lead American Troops Into Battle.

Gaddy, "You're better each time with Black in Time." Harriet Tubman is one great lady. Her history and contributions never fades. God has granted her as one of the notable soliders of freedom in American and Black History. Gone, but always remembered for her dedication and work. Keep it up Gaddy! You're projecting a great work too. :=)
