Harriet Tubman (1822-1913) was born into slavery in Dorchester County, Maryland. In 1849 Tubman escaped slavery and fled to Philadelphia. From there she used the Underground Railroad to help rescue other enslaved people. In 1850, Tubman traveled to Baltimore for the first time to help her niece Kessiah and her two children escape to Philadelphia. Over the course of 11 years, Tubman returned to the Eastern Shore about 13 times and rescued some 70 enslaved people. One of Tubman’s last missions to the Eastern Shore was to lead her aging parents to St. Catharines, Ontario.
