Harriet Tubman c. 1822–1913

Notes

Harriet Tubman was born Araminta Ross about March 1822 and died on 10 March 1913. Araminta Ross is the alias already on this Echo, and the years read c. 1822–1913. The summary names an abolitionist who led rescues on the Underground Railroad and served in the Civil War. The public record describes about thirteen rescue missions and about seventy people taken out of slavery, including family and friends, along the network of activists and safe houses called the Underground Railroad. During the Civil War she served the Union Army as an armed scout and a spy. In later years she took part in the movement for women’s suffrage. The “about” on the birth year is kept because the year is not known to the day. This note does not add a county, a school, or a residence.
