1849 Escape. Harriet was given a piece of paper by a white abolitionist neighbor with two names, and told how to find the first house on her path to freedom. At the first house she was put into a wagon, covered with a sack, and driven to her next destination. and kind enough to give her directions to safe houses and names of people who would help her cross the Mason-Dixon line.

She then hitched a ride with a woman and her husband who were passing by. They were abolitionists and took her to Philadelphia. Here, Harriet got a job where she saved her pay to help free slaves. She also met William Still. Still was one of the Underground Railroad's busiest "station masters."

HARRIET TUBMAN

EDUCATION: Because of her indentured status, Harriet was denied the opportunity for education -- leaving her illiterate her entire life. Slaveowners did not want their slaves to know how to read or write.

FAMILY BACKGROUND: Born into slavery on Maryland's Eastern Shore, Harriet's ancestors had been brought to America in shackles from Africa during the first half of the 18th Century. Harriet was the 11th child born to Benjamin Ross and Harriet Greene (slaves of Edward Brodas),

BIRTH DATE: .1820. Because she was a slave, and owners did not record their slaves' birthdates, the exact date of Harriet's birth is unknown _different accounts list 1820 or 1821. BIRTH PLACE: Edward Brodas plantation near Bucktown, Dorchester County, Maryland.

1850 Conductor: In September of the same year, Harriet was made an official "conductor" of the UGRR.!!!!!

Harriet Tubman is perhaps the most well-known of all the Underground Railroad's "conductors. During a ten-year span she made 19 trips into the South and escorted over 300 slaves to freedom. As she once proudly pointed out to Frederick Douglass.
