Harriet Tubman's early life as a slave, her first marriage to a free black man. Because her life is inspiring, there are appropriately many children's stories .

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. And, as she once proudly pointed out to Frederick Douglass, in all of her journeys she "never lost a single passenger."

Despite having found her own freedom, Harriet Tubman risked her freedom and life to help others escape slavery. She did this despite having been born into slavery and suffering a head injury when she was young that caused her to have fainting spells throughout her life. She strongly believed that all people should be free, and she always put others ahead of herself. She was willing to take risks, was intelligent and poised, and was a great leader, who found strength in her faith.
