Harriet Tubman Harriet Tubman was born in 1819 or 1820 in Dorchester County, Maryland Her name at that time was Araminta Ross (Minty) Her grandmother was brought here on a slave ship from Ghana, West Africa. Her parents grew up in slavery She spent most of her time as a child with her Grandmother. When she was six years old, she was considered old enough to work. At 11, she was no longer considered a child and was given an adult’s share of work to do and wore a brightly colored bandana around her head and renamed to Harriett after her mother When she was twelve, she refused to help stop a slave from running away and she was hit in the head with a heavy metal object that was meant for the runaway. This injury caused her problems the rest of her life. On cold nights she slept as close to the fire as possible to keep warm.

Marriage and family When she was about 24 years old she married a free black man named John Tubman. Later, when she told him she wanted to escape from being a slave, he said he would tell her master In 1869, when she was about 49 years old she married Nelson Davies. They adopted a daughter together. They named her Gertie. When she was about 29 years old, (1849) she did escape. A white abolitionist neighbor got her started on her way to freedom by giving her the names of people who could help her and the directions to the first safe house. Once she got to Philadelphia, she got a job and became involved with the underground railroad. John Tubman Coppermine photo gallery

How did they know which way was north? One important way the conductors could tell they were going in the right direction was to follow the big dipper. The Big Dipper is a constellation and is also known as the drinking gourd.

When the sun comes back and the first quail calls, Follow the Drinking Gourd. For the old man is waiting for to carry you to freedom, If you follow the Drinking Gourd. The river bank makes a very good road, The dead trees show you the way, Left foot, peg foot, traveling on Follow the Drinking Gourd. The river ends between two hills, Follow the Drinking Gourd. There's another river on the other side, Follow the Drinking Gourd. Where the great big river meets the little river, Follow the Drinking Gourd.

I was the conductor of the Underground Railroad for eight years, and I can say what most conductors can't say; I never ran my train off the track and I never lost a passenger. Harriet Tubman Harriet Tubman I had crossed the line. I was free; but there was no one to welcome me to the land of freedom. I was a stranger in a strange land.
