Harriet Tubman
Underground Railroad Leader

1820-1913

Tubman was born into slavery in Maryland but escaped through the Underground Railroad to Pennsylvania in 1849. She then became the most famous leader of that network, aiding slaves in their escape to free states and Canada. She was known as "Moses" to the hundreds of slaves she helped to freedom and the thousands of others she inspired. She was never caught and never lost a slave on the route to freedom.
