A True Heroin
Harriet Tubman is probably the best known conductor of the Underground Railroad. ... Tubman is remembered by her childhood, her life as a slave, and how she helped others escape to freedom.
First, Harriet Tubman’s real name was Araminta Ross. ... Her parents were Benjamin Ross and Harriet Green. Araminta changed her first name to Harriet when she got married.
However, Harriet (Arminta) had a rough childhood. ... When Tubman was thirteen an overseer was trying to stop a runaway slave. The overseer threw a two-pound weight at the slave, and Harriet threw herself in front of it, and the weight struck her on the head. For the rest of her life Tubman would have these fainting spells, in which she would fall into a deep sleep, because of that injury.
