Harriet Tubman: the "Moses" of Her Time

Harriet Tubman, known as 'Moses', was a remarkable figure who led many slaves to freedom, evading capture despite a large bounty on her head. She suffered from narcolepsy but refused anesthesia during surgery, opting instead to chew on a bullet. Tubman also made significant medical contributions, curing diseases like dysentery. As a Union scout, she led a successful combat mission, freeing 750 slaves without losing a single soldier. Tubman's life was marked by courage and dedication, living to 91 and being honored with a military burial.
