how old was harriet tubman when she made her first and last rescue

Answer 1

Harriet Tubman was an African American abolitionist who was born into slavery. Like most slaves, she did not know the exact date of her birth so it is only possible as of right now to give a rough estimate on how old she was during her first and last rescue in bringing slaves to freedom through the Underground Railroad. By nearly all account she was born in March either in 1820 or 1822 in Dorchester County, Maryland. She made her 1st rescue on December 1850 and her last rescue in November 1860, shortly before the start of the Civil War the following year 1861. So given the rough estimation of her birth, she would have been either 30 or 28 years old during her 1st rescue mission and either 40 or 38 years old during her last rescue mission.
