What Was the Underground Railroad? by Yona Zeldis McDonough, Who HQ, Lauren Mortimer No one knows where the term Underground Railroad came fromâthere were no trains or tracks, only conductors who helped escaping slaves to freedom. Including real stories about passengers on the Railroad, this book chronicles slaves' close calls with bounty hunters, exhausting struggles on the road, and what they sacrificed for freedom.
In the 1850âs there was one woman who risked her life not once but many times to rescue hundreds of slaves and help them escape to freedom. This woman was Harriet Tubman. Tubman was the most famous leader of the Underground Railroad. Tubman was born a slave in 1820 on the Brodas plantation. Her and name was Araminta Ross, but as a child she was always known by her motherâs name, Harriet. These were hard times, so by the age of five she was hired out as a laborer. Harriet did not care to work indoors and was routinely beaten by her masters.
