>she's famous for her work with the underground railroad.
The "underground railroad" was nothing more than a network of people who helped escaped slaves get to sanctuary states, or to Canada. As such there is almost no physical evidence of its existence, beyond attestations of individual people.
Also, Tubman's deeds are dubious at best because virtually all scholarship related to her began after the year 2000. Read her wikipedia article and look at the citations. It's the same handful of biographies all written after 2003 or so, cited again and again, for the most part. Her actions in assisting the Union Army are well documented and have credible sources. Her other activities, not so much.
