Harriet Tubman
My name is Harriet Tubman. I was born in the early 1820s. I was a slave in Maryland.
Harriet Ross was my mom in slavery in Maryland, and my dad also lived in Maryland.
I was the fifth child of a large family.
I decided to escape in 1849. It was very scary, but I got away to freedom in Pennsylvania. I went back after I escaped from slavery to get the other slaves.
I died in 1913.
