Did Harriet Tubman write books?
Harriet Tubman? I don't quite know if she wrote books. If she did- then GREAT!If she didn't- then DON'T EVEN BOTHER ASKING! Find out!YUP!!!With the help of Sarah Bradford, she wrote her autobiography, Harriet Tubman, the Moses of Her People, (1869).

Where did Harriet Tubman die?
As Harriet Tubman aged, the sleeping spells and suffering from her childhood head trauma continued to plague her. At some point in the late 1890s, she underwent brain surgery at Boston's Massachusetts General Hospital. Unable to sleep because of pains and "buzzing" in her head, she asked a doctor if he could operate. He agreed, and in her words, "sawed open my skull, and raised it up, and now it feels more comfortable."She had received no anesthesia for the procedure, and reportedly chose instead to bite down on a bullet, as she had seen Civil War soldiers do when their limbs were amputated. By 1911, her body was so frail that she had to be admitted into the rest home named in her honor. A New York newspaper described her as "ill and penniless", prompting supporters to offer a new round of donations. Surrounded by friends and family members, Harriet Tubman died of pneumonia on March 10, 1913. Just before she died, she told those in the room: "I go to prepare a place for you."

What are some of Harriet Tubman's skills and talents?
Well Harriet Tubman was born into slavery I thought, anyway she couldn't really have hobbies because there was so much work to do. However I will see what I can find on that!I don't think she really had any hobbies as a kid. However she was very close to her family as a kid and liked hearing stories too and I believe she was a good story teller herself. Also I'm not sure if this is write but I thought so, as a kid had a doll. I'm not positive on this though. Sorry!!kiannaAnswer: excerpt and the site.When she was nearly 30 years old, she escaped from her plantation master and headed into the North along the Underground Railroad. This was a system of cooperation among the active antislavery people who hid the runaway slaves, fed them, and gave them shelter and clothes, then directed them to the next protector. For the next 10 years, Tubman helped direct escaping slaves, many of whom called her Mosco, after the Biblical figure who led the Jews from Egypt. Tubman made 19 trips into the South to aid escaping slaves and brought more than 300 to the free North and Canada. In 1857, she managed to rescue her own aged parents.http://members.aol.com/efirpo/tubman.html
