My article about Harriet Tubman and her Combahee Ferry Raid is published in the Historian’s Magazine! (Page 18). She joined the Union Army and began work as an Army nurse, caring for the war’s wounded. Later, she was given the order to organize a network of spies and informants. She was tasked with gaining Confederate intelligence and reporting to her military superiors. The information Harriet supplied helped thwart the plans of the Confederate Army by intercepting gun powder barrels that were intended to use on Union supply lines and ships, along with other Confederate military plans. Her ability to mentally store essential information for the Union despite that she was illiterate, made her a valuable asset to the Union and the cause of abolition. She led a raid against the Combahee Ferry rice plantation in June 1863, which would prove to be devastating to the large plantation and the Confederacy. I hope you enjoy the article!
