Harriet Tubman Doll & Biography
She couldn't read or write, but she outwitted bounty hunters and sheriffs and led her family, relatives and others to their freedom. They called Harriet Tubman the "Moses of her People."
Harriet was a slave, until she would take no more. She toiled in the fields of her owner's neighbor's plantations in Maryland. In 1849 as more slaves were being sold into the deep south she decided to run away to freedom. She traveled 90 miles to Pennsylvania.
When the Civil War broke out, Union officials asked Harriet for help. She got information about the Confederate army from the blacks still in the South. She guided the Union army through unfamiliar territory. She cared for the wounded and sick in the hospital.
Back at her home in Auburn, New York, Harriet struggled to care for her aging parents. With hard work, determination and support from her family and friends she kept her home. But despite her own troubles, Harriet devoted herself to her "last work" -- providing a home for aging and disabled black people
