A slideshow and talk about a trip to the Harriet Tubman House in Auburn, New York.

She was the first American woman to lead soldiers into combat, owned property, and brought between 70 and 100 enslaved Americans out of the pre-Civil War South over the course of 19 trips as a conductor on the Underground Railroad.  Come and learn more about Harriet Tubman on a “road trip” with MPL Librarian Amy Waldman to the Harriet Tubman House in Auburn, New York, featuring pictures, stories and a brief stop at the home of her friend William Seward, Abraham Lincoln’s secretary of state and the man who purchased Alaska from Russia for $7.2 million.
