     Harriet Tubman...who was she?  

What was she like?   How was she 

able to help so many people and 

bring them to freedom?   I am 

fortunate enough to know the 

answers to all those 

questions...come, as I take you on a 

journey through the life of Harriet 

Tubman and the Underground 

Railroad.

   Harriet Tubman...who was she?  

What was she like?   How did she 

save so many people and bring 

them to freedom?

   My name is Isabel and I was a 

slave...that is before I met Harriet 

Tubman.   Read this journal and you 

will learn about Harriet and why we 

call her the "Moses" of her people.  

Journal,

    In order to become free you have to escape 

and survive and the only way to do that is on 

the Underground Railroad.   The Underground 

Railroad is this system that helps runaways, like 

me, find their way to freedom. This secret 

network is made up of routes and safe homes 

that lead to the North.   You can't travel on the 

Underground Railroad by yourself though; you 

need someone that knows the routes and can 

lead the way.   The person I'm looking for is the 

greatest conductor of them all, Harriet Tubman.

-Isabel 

Journal,

    I have found her.   Harriet, better 

known as Moses, told me that I can be 

one of her passengers on her travels up 

North.   I approach my way towards 

freedom and know I will be safe with 

Harriet leading the way.

-Isabel

Journal,

    On our journey, Harriet's shared many 

stories and secrets with me.   She said 

after she had reached freedom, she 

missed her family so much that she 

vowed to go back to the South as many 

times as it took to bring them to freedom 

as well.   Hearing this, I was assured that I 

was going to make it up North to freedom.

-Isabel
