Harriet Tubman’s life and the Underground Railroad

This biography introduces Harriet Tubman through her experience of enslavement in Maryland and her journey north to Philadelphia via the Underground Railroad. It also places that journey within a longer life: Tubman lived to ninety-two, and the description notes that her work remained significant after the Civil War ended slavery. The account offers a concise way into the history of slavery and the Underground Railroad through one person’s documented life.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 9–12 learning about Harriet Tubman and African American history
  • Young readers interested in biographies connected to slavery and the Underground Railroad

Book overview

Born a slave in Maryland, Harriet Tubman knew first-hand what it meant to be someone's property; she was whipped by owners and almost killed by an overseer. It was from other field hands that she first heard about the Underground Railroad which she travelled by herself north to Philadelphia. Throughout her long life (she died at the age of ninety-two) and long after the Civil War brought an end to slavery, this amazing woman was proof of what just one person can do.
