When she fled slavery in the fall of 1849 from the Eastern Shore of Maryland, she tapped into an already highly organized, well run, Underground Railroad network of both white and black, free and enslaved people. Several dozen people fled from that region in the few years before her own escape, and she herslef was helped by someone who was probably already active in the Underground Railroad network there. Tuamn was one of the very few, however, who returned, repeatedly, so she could rescue her family and best friends.
