塔布曼:地下鐵道的車掌

塔布曼來回往返馬里蘭州19次並幫助了300多人獲得自由。在這些危險旅程中,她也解救了自己家中的成員,包括70歲的父母。曾有一段時間,塔布曼的緝拿獎金高達$40,000,然而,她從未被捕,也總是成功的將她的「旅客」送達安全地帶。就如同塔布曼親口所說:「我從未讓地下鐵道出軌,也從未遺失任何乘客。」


Tubman made 19 trips to Maryland and helped 300 people to freedom. During these dangerous journeys she helped rescue members of her own family, including her 70-year-old parents. At one point, rewards for Tubman's capture totaled $40,000. Yet, she was never captured and never failed to deliver her "passengers" to safety. As Tubman herself said, "On my Underground Railroad I [never] run my train off [the] track [and] I never [lost] a passenger."
