Title	Harriet Tubman
Description	Lithograph of Harriet Tubman from the book, "Scenes of the Life in Harriet Tubman" (1869) by Sarah H. Bradford. The wood-carved likeness for the printing is attributed to J.C. Darby. She is wearing a long dress, coat and kerchief, and is holding a rifle with both hands. The author refers to this as her "costume as scout."
Historical Note	Harriet Tubman is well known for her work with the Underground Railroad. Born a slave around 1820 in Dorchester County, Maryland, she escaped to Philadelphia in 1849. A prominent abolitionist, she returned to the South 19 times and escorted over 300 slaves to freedom from 1849-1860. During the Civil War, she worked as a nurse, cook, and spy for the Union. After the Civil War, she became actively involved in the women's suffrage movement. Her life stands as a monument to courage and determination.
