If you want to discover the captivating life of Harriet Tubman, then keep reading...

Harriet Tubman was known as a "conductor" on the "Underground Railroad." But this wasn't a railroad that carried trains and freight but rather human lives that were desperately seeking freedom. It was a clandestine group of individuals (hence the name "underground") scattered across the United States and Canada who helped facilitate the migration of those ensnared in the South's scourge of slavery to the so-called free states and provinces of the North.

Harriet's years of bondage were dreadful, and she had the scars to prove it. She also had recurring headaches from when a heavy two-pound weight used for weighing produce struck her in the head. Neither her scars nor her headaches would ever leave her, and they served as a constant reminder of what she had gone through. In fact, some biographies assert that as she got older, the headaches only grew worse.

But Harriet was a fighter. And she insisted on those around her having that same fighting spirit as well. Her steely determination was forged on the Underground Railroad, where to turn back meant slavery, severe punishment, and possibly death. Harriet Tubman traveled up and down the backroads in the dead of night, with only her own wits and her faith in God to help her.
