Born a slave in Maryland, Harriet Tubman knew

property; she was whipped by owners and
almost killed by an overseer. It was from other
field hands that she first heard about the
Underground Railroad, which she later travelled
by herself north to Philadelphia. Throughout
her long life (she died at the age of ninety-two)
and long after the Civil War brought an end to
slavery, this amazing woman was proof of what
just one person can do.
