Escaped Slaves with Harriet Tubman |
||||||
 |
||||||
|
||||||
| Harriet Tubman (far left, holding basin) was one of the most famous leaders of the Underground Railroad. Tubman herself escaped slavery in Maryland in 1849 via the Underground Railroad. She traveled to Pennsylvania, and once there she vowed to return to help other slaves escape. In 19 rescue trips, Tubman guided about 300 slaves to freedom without ever being caught. This photograph shows Tubman with a group of slaves she led to freedom through the Underground Railroad. | ||||||
