Harriet Tubman freed many people

"Wanted Dead or Alive": The True Story of Harriet Tubman
~ by Ann McGovern, 1965, historical fiction for children, 64 pages, 10/10

Harriet Tubman was a true American hero who led enslaved people to freedom on what was called "the Underground Railroad."  They walked away, following her as she showed them how and where along the way.  Thus, she became known as the "Moses" of her people.  She had found people who were willing to help her by taking them in and feeding them as they moved from the south to the north.  When she first escaped herself, Harriett headed to Maryland, so they would follow the path she knew.
