Harriet Tubman

Harriet Tubman

Harriet Tubman (born Araminta Ross), 1822-1913 began life as a slave, and ended life free. Once she had discovered the Underground Railroad – a network of people working to smuggle out slaves and free them, she joined up wholeheartedly.

When civil war broke out, she joined the Union side as a nurse, but Harriet’s skills from delivering all these people became quickly apparent as she was then enlisted as a spy. She led 150 black American troops in the raid on Combahee Ferry, freeing 750 slaves in one go.

The pack consists of one single piece miniature cast in high quality pewter. 28mm scale, supplied unpainted.

Sculpted by Alan Marsh, shown painted by John Morris.
