I don't where to go or what to do, but I expect you to lead me' and he always did. In her words she said 'twaisn't me, twas the lord! I always told him, 'I trust to you.

She is quoted as saying that God never let her down. The book tells how she often turned to God for help and guidance the way some might turn to a friend.

Born into slavery, beaten, she suffered a severe head wound when when a slaveholder was attempting to discipline another slave, she dug down deep inside of herself, in her own quiet way, she fought back. I have have had taken, everything that can possibly be taken' I think this applies to Harriet Tubman.

She often says ' I have already lost everything that can be lost. I recall the words of a family member of mine who is a Holocaust survivor. Again and again while reading this book, I kept asking myself, ' where did she get it?' The 'it' being that spark, that drive, that fight. She was known for her ability to blend in, she was smart, courageous., she put others first. In battle during the civil war, she was often refereed to as 'a black woman' her name never given but it is estimated that she helped 700 slaves be freed during the Combahee raid. She told he something to the effect of be free or die. She was known for carrying a gun and was reported as placing the gun to the head of a man who decided he would go back to the plantation and take his chances. Harriet Tubman referred to as the Moses of her people led over 300 slaves to freedom. She was also a strong supporter of women's rights and fought hard to be treated as an equal. Not only did she help run the underground railroad, she served as nurse and spy in the Civil war, she was present at battles, she risked her life time and time again in the pursuit of freedom not just for herself, but for all slaves. How does an individual born into slavery, be beaten and whipped, had family members sold never to be seen again, gather that little bit of something from down deep inside to make such a stand in life. What a fierce strong woman! Calling her fierce feels like an understatement. 'When Araminta escaped the hell of slavery for the 'heaven' of liberty, she had 'crossed the line of which she had so long been dreaming,' and was reborn as Harriet.' Harriet Tubmanīorn and named Araminta by her parents, she later took her Mother's Name (and possibly the name of one of her sisters), Harriett after she became free. I had reasoned this out in my mind, there was one or two things I had a right to, liberty or death If I could not have one, I would have the other. 'If you are tired, keep going if you are scared, keep going' if you are hungry, keep going if you want to taste freedom, keep going.' - Harriet Tubman
