American
freedom fighter
(1820(?)-1913). Born a
slave
in
Maryland
, she escaped and joined the
Underground Railroad
as a
conductor
for
runaway
slave
s. She was the
Railroad
's most
successful
conductor, making 19 trips to the
Deep South
and bringing over 300 slaves to
freedom
. She was never
capture
d and never allowed anyone to turn back. Southerners assumed she was
male
and placed an astounding $40,000
bounty
on her. She helped plan
John Brown
's raid on
Harper's Ferry
, but was laid up
sick
during the raid and missed all the
action
(and missed getting
arrest
ed and
hang
ed, too). Tubman was also a
popular
abolitionist
speaker, and she worked as a
spy
for the
North
during the
Civil War
.
Little-known fact: she suffered from
narcolepsy
.
Research from
GURPS Who's Who
