In my dreams and visions, I seemed to see a line, and on the other side of that line were green fields, and lovely flowers, 

and 

beautiful white ladies, who stretched out their arms to me over the line, but I couldn't reach them no-how. I always fell before I got to the line.

I said to de Lord, 'I'm goin' to hold steady on to you, an' I know you'll see me through.'

Twasn't me, 'twas the Lord! I always told Him, 'I trust to you. I don't know where to go or what to do, but I expect You to lead me,' an' He always did.

I've heard 'Uncle Tom's Cabin' read, and I tell you Mrs. Stowe's pen hasn't begun to paint what slavery is as I have seen it at the far South. I've seen de real thing, and I don't want to see it on no stage or in no theater.

Why, der language down dar in de far South is jus' as different from ours in Maryland, as you can think. Dey laughed when dey heard me talk, an' I could not understand 'dem, no how.

The Combahee river is a short river in South Carolina, named for the Combahee tribe of Native Americans...During the period before the Civil War, the river provided irrigation for rice fields of local plantations. The Union Army occupied a nearby territory, seeking her help,

Harriet Tubman

 organized a raid to free enslaved people to strike at the local economy. She led the armed raid — a guerilla action, in later terms — which led to 750 escaping enslavement and becoming "contraband," freed by the Union Army. It was, until recent times, the only military campaign in American history planned and headed by a woman.

The Combahee Raid, and the heroic actions of Harriet Tubman, though not widely known, are one of the boldest and most successful military operations in American history.
