- A friend with friends
- In the Eastern Shore of Maryland, in Dorchester County, in Caroline County, there was a whisper about a man named Moses who was a runaway slave. There were guards in the woods with a search dog trying to look for him and the other runaways.
- Thomas Garrett was a strong man who was very different from the others, he had a house that he would let the slaves stay in and give them food, water, and new shoes. The food they were given was milk, bread, and meat, Harriet had found it hard to leave the warmth and friendliness, just like the others.
- There were 11 slaves she was bringing with her to Canada, the most she's ever brought. They would come across many hideout houses for when her and the escaped slaves would sleep and need to eat, the password to get into these houses was” A friend with Friends”.
- Harriet carried a gun in case she had to threaten any slaves wanting to go back to captivity and felt very guilty doing so, any slaves wanting to return to captivity because of hope being lost would turn into a “traitor”, meaning they would have been killed if they didn't snitch on fellow fugitives.
- When Harriet would fall asleep they would wait for her until she would wake up, it could be minutes, or hours, but they trusted her so they would wait and not leave her. Late in December, 1851 Harriet arrived in St. Catharine's, Canada West, with the eleven fugitives.
- In spite of the severe cold, the hard work, she came to love St. Catherine's, and the other towns and cities in Canada where black men lived. She discovered that freedom meant more than the right to change jobs at will, more than the right to keep the money that one earned.
