Kate Larson discusses writing her biography of Harriet Tubman. Tubman had been the subject of "adult" bios only twice before 2000. Since then three biographies of her have been published. Very interesting information about historical detective work.


Larson recalculated the number of people Tubman helped escape on the Underground Railroad. It was long thought to be 300, but the number given now at the Auburn house is 70-100.
 
Pat, There were quite a few folks at the NPS visitors center outside Cambridge in Woolford, MD over the weekend. Nice facility. Heres the address for the Harriet Tubman byway web site.

It has photos and a video. It heads over to Bucktown and the NPS center among other spots. My wife and I spend a good deal of time in the area during the summer.
When visiting be sure to head down to Old Salty's Restaurant in Fishing Creek for dinner, great folks and great food.

I picked up her book.
 
Still back with the 5 year old girl. Loved her! " Everything ". Boy, we just do not give people enough credit. ' Only ' 5. Ha!

Thanks for the tour, Pat ( and Michelle ). Read a book, when a child too, never forget it " North to Freedom ". Been smitten by Harriet ever since.

I visited the Tubman sites two years ago, but the visitors' center had not yet opened. Folks should definitely consider heading over to the Eastern Shore to take a look there. It is a beautiful area.
