*She was almost captured but took out a book and pretended to read. Most slaves were illiterate, so she was able to avoid capture. ]]> 2017-05-24 16:01:25 UTC https://padlet.com/msimson/97m2wnip9h43/wish/173661121 msimson https://padlet.com/msimson/97m2wnip9h43/wish/173664430 Harriet went through some rough obstacles as a slave, but some were more daring and difficult than others.  This conductor was wanted dead or alive for a ransom of $40,000 so she had to sneak away quietly.
