About Harriet Tubman' s life.

She was born 1820 or 1821. She gerw up in Maryland. She was a slave and she worked as hard as a grown up . One day her owner almost killed her with a metal brick . One night she and her 3 brothers tried to escape . Her brothers went back and so did she . But then one night she went off alone. She went all the way to Pennsylvania and freed herself .She used the underground railroad. The underground railroad is a path of houses to freedom. Harriet Tubman is a lot like Sojourner Truth. She freed slaves too.

I read that slaves used the blocks in quilts as signs on the underground railroad. Sometimes the quilt would be a map of how to get to freedom. I wonder if Harriet Tubman knew about those quilt squares? There is a great story about such a quilt and a little slave girl. It is called Sweet Clara and the Freedom Quilt. You might like it.
