... Only one woman fits this description, none other than Harriet Ross Tubman. ... ”-Harriet Tubman. Harriet was never captured in any of her rescue missions. Harriet carried a gun with her in case a “passenger” decided to turn back. ...
Harriet Tubman was born in 1820 or 1821; the birth of slaves was not recorded so nobody knows the exact date. Harriet was born in Bucktown, Maryland. Harriet was born with the name Araminta Ross. ... Over time Araminta began to take her mother’s name, Harriet. ... She was one of 12 kids, but Harriet had to witness 7 of her sisters being sold off to new owners. Harriet did not have a very good childhood; in fact she once said “I grew up like a neglected weed, ignorant of liberty, having no experience of it.” Harriet’s family worked at the Brodas plantation. ... Harriet was hired out for the first of many times, when she was 6, to the Cook family. ... Cook was a weaver; she tried to teach Harriet to turn cotton to cloth and Mr. Cook taught Harriet to make muskrat traps. The weather got cold and Harriet had to wade in the river looking for trapped muskrats. ... The Cooks did not want a sick slave, so they brought her back to the Brodas plantation where Harriet’s mother nursed her back to health.
