Additional Description: “In the 19th century, the timbering industry dominated the economic wealth of the Eastern Shore. Slaves like Harriet Tubman and her family worked in the various aspects of the trade. Mills in the area became a source of employment for both slaves and freemen of color. Timber was then transported around the area to support the shipbuilding industry.” - Quilt Trail Pamphlet.
