Let's start with the photo.
That's not Harriet Tubman. Plenty of photo's to choose from, why choose one that obviously is not her?
How about those "Tall Tales"?
She was much more important than a figure of the underground railroad. We know she was a Union spy and instrumental in raids - finding the mines (which were called torpedoes at the time and to what Farragut was referring when he famously said "Damn the torpedoes") that were laid in the rivers.
After the war she turned her attention to the suffrage movement, and founded a nursing home for the elderly and indigent people of color.
