# Harriet Tubman worked on the underground railroad about 10 years #
The underground railroad existed long before Harriet Tubman. She served as one of its most effective conductors.

No, Rosa Parks was not a part of the Underground Railroad. By the time Parks was born in 1913, slavery had long been abolished so there was no need for the Underground Railroad. You may have Parks confused with Harriet Tubman, who was an integral part of the Underground Railroad.
Harriet Tubman was a brave former slave that created the so-called Underground Railroad that helped escaped slaves relocate to Canada. She was an American heroine in her day. The only mistake she made was to help John Brown plan his abortive slave revolution in 1859. Frederick Douglas met also with John Brown and tried to persuade him to abandon his crazy scheme.
I think Harriet Tubman picked cotton.
Harriet Tubman ( born Araminta Ross ) was born in 1822.At the age of five or six, she was hired out to a woman named " Miss Susan " as a nursemaid.After escaping from slavery, into which she was born, she made thirteen missions to rescue over seventy slaves using the network of antislavery activists and safe houses known as the Underground Railroad.
Yes, Harriet Tubman did have a dent in her forehead. This was a result of a serious head injury she sustained as a child when she was struck by a heavy metal weight during an altercation. The injury caused long-term health issues and possibly led to experiences of seizures and visions, which she later interpreted as spiritual guidance in her work as an abolitionist and conductor of the Underground Railroad.

Harriet Tubman was a brave and very strong woman. She traveled very long ways to get herself, her family, and as much slaves as she could to freedom. She risked her life nineteen times as a "conductor" on the Underground Railroad. As I recall, she escaped to Pennsylvania from Maryland. No one really knows how many miles she had to travel to get to freedom when she escaped.
