Harriet Tubman was forced to work at the age of five. A few years later the plantation owner died. She knew she would be sold to the even harsher conditions of the deep South if she did not escape. She made her way on foot to Pennsylvania, some 90 miles, stopping at churches and aided by other sympathizers in the network known as the Underground Railroad. She worked hard for two years, saving money to return to Maryland for her sister and her two children. Soon she was making regular trips, each one riskier than the last. She had shrewd planning skills and always chose a different route and used disguises to avoid being caught. There were rewards totaling $40,000 offered for her arrest, but she was never caught. During the Civil War, she worked as a nurse and scout for the North. She was honored more than once by the Union Army, although she did not receive a pension for years. Eventually she led about 300 people to freedom in Canada and became known as the "Moses of Her People". She is a hero to those she rescued and to millions who never met her.

During the time harriet lived before the civil war, she made 19 trips to brong slaves to freedom. She was curageous from a very young qge when she ran away from her master. She could not live on her own so she returned even though she knew she would recieve a beating.

Yes, Harriet Tubman did do something brave. She led over 300 slaves to freedom. She was an escaped slave who had a high money reward if someone caught her. But no one ever did.
