Synopsis

Travel to 19th century Dorchester County and search for the places that Harriet Tubman lived, some of them lost to sinking lands and rising waters.

When Harriet Tubman crossed the line to freedom in Pennsylvania, she left behind her home in Maryland along with a life of enslavement. Her native land made Tubman the person she became to history - Underground Railroad conductor, Civil War scout and nurse, suffragette and advocate for the aged and disabled.

Authors Phillip Hesser and Charlie Ewers explore the landscape of Tubman's life, from the slave quarters to the churches to the marshes and fields where she worked.
