Harriet Tubman,
born a slave, made her perilous escape from a
Maryland plantation when she was 25, leaving her
family behind. Pursued by dogs and slave catchers,
she followed a route laid out by Quakers—hiding in
churches, barns, cellars and homes. The route
Harriet followed became known as the Underground
Railroad, and she became one of its most celebrated
'conductors.' Up creek beds, through swamps, over
hills in the dark of night, on 19 trips Harriet
Tubman guided more than 300 slaves, including her
aged parents, to freedom.
