She escaped slavery alone at night. Then went back. Thirteen times.

In this episode, we dive deep into the full, extraordinary life of Harriet

Tubman — from her brutal childhood on Maryland's Eastern Shore, to her

daring escapes on the Underground Railroad, to her secret career as a

Union Army spy who led the most successful military liberation raid in

American history — freeing over 700 people in a single night.

We cover:

✅ Her complete biography — the real story, not the sanitized version

✅ How the Underground Railroad actually worked

✅ Her role as spy, scout & the first woman to lead a U.S. military raid

✅ The Harriet Tubman National Historic Sites — Maryland & Auburn, NY

✅ Where you can actually HIKE the Underground Railroad routes today

✅ The 2019 film "Harriet"

✅ Fascinating lesser-known facts that will leave you speechless

This is the Harriet Tubman most history books were too afraid to show you. It's about a woman who carried a pistol, ran a spy network entirely from memory, fought for women's suffrage into her 80s, and built a home for the elderly while living in poverty herself. She was, in every sense, extraordinary.
