Harriet Tubman

I had crossed de line of which I had so long been dreaming. I was free; but dere was no one to welcome me to de land of freedom, I was a stranger in a strange land.

I am at peace with God and all mankind.

I grew up like a neglected weed - ignorant of liberty, having no experience of it.

I looked at my hands to see if I was the same person.

I would fight for my liberty so long as my strength lasted, and if the time came for me to go, the Lord would let them take me.

I looked at my hands to see if I was the same person. There was such a glory over everything. The sun came up like gold through the trees, and over the fields, and I felt like I was in heaven.

I never ran my train off the track, and I never lost a passenger.
