Harriet Tubman was an American abolitionist and activist. Born into slavery, she escaped and, through the Underground Railroad, led many to freedom during the 19th century. As a Union scout and spy in the Civil War, she was also the first woman to lead an armed expedition. Tubman became an advocate for women's suffrage later in her life.

In 1859, Harriet Tubman met and supported John Brown in his raid on Harpers Ferry. During the Civil War, she served as a cook, nurse, scout, and spy for the Union Army. In the Combahee River Raid, she played a vital role in freeing more than 700 enslaved individuals.

Born Araminta "Minty" Ross in March 1821 (1822) in Bucktown, Dorchester County, Maryland, and died March 10, 1913, in Auburn, New York, at the age of 90-91.

WRECKAGE ALONG THE MAIN LINE by Roger Bee Via Flickr: Baltimore & Ohio 4495 and two helpers slowly pass the scrap metal of a recent train wreck on the northwest edge of Harpers Ferry, West Virginia on 05-03-1966. Built in 1950, this EMD F7A looks to be in its original as delivered colors.

La petite fille d'Harpers Ferry (Virginie Occidentale, Etats-Unis)

Une de mes favorites personnelles. La petite fille posait pour son père qui se trouvait à mes côtés. Intimidée par ce double regard, elle cherchait à se cacher à côté de la lourde stèle du lieu !
