Puzzle 58: Harriet Tubman

Today's puzzle celebrates Harriet Tubman. Known as the “Moses of her people,” she escaped from slavery and went on to help others gain their freedom as a “conductor" of the Underground Railroad. She also served as a scout, spy, guerrilla soldier, and nurse for the Union Army during the Civil War.
