　　Historians say Harriet Tubman was born in the year 1820．Nobody really knows．But we do know that Harriet Tubman was one of the bravest women ever born in the United States．

　　From a very early age, Harriet knew how slaves suffered．At six years old, she was sent to the fields． Working outside not only made her body strong but also made her learn about the Underground Railroad, through which she helped hundreds of people escape from slavery later．She also learned many things from other slaves, which one day would help her lead her people to freedom．She became more of a rebel （叛逆者）．

　　In 1844, at about age 24, she married a free black man named John Tubman．By now, Harriet was sure she wanted to try to escape．Suddenly, the time came．Her owner died．Though opposed by her husband, she decided to escape．With the help of the Underground Railroad, and through a variety of suffering she finally crossed the border into Pennsylvania, where slavery was banned （禁止）．Later, she told a friend, "I felt like I was in heaven．"

　　Now that Harriet was free, she did not forget the hundreds of other slaves back in Maryland．Harriet traveled back and forth eighteen times, helping about 300 slaves escape into free territory．She became an expert at hiding from slave hunter．The people she helped called her Moses．At one time anyone finding Harriet was promised $40,000 for catching her —dead or alive．
