The Life of Harriet Tubman, #15: In the North, Harriet Tubman worked hard. All her wages she laid away for the one purpose of liberating her people, as soon as a sufficient amount was secured she disappeared from her Northern home, and as mysteriously appeared one dark night at the door of one of the cabins on the plantation, where a group of trembling fugitives was waiting. Then she piloted them North, traveling by night, hiding by day, scaling the mountains, wading the rivers, threading the forests-she, carrying the babies, drugged with paragoric. So she went, nineteen times, liberating over 300 pieces of living, breathing "property." 1940. Casein tempera on hardboard, 12 x 17 7/8".
