At the age of 13, she attempted to prevent another slave from being punished, and as a result had a two pound iron weight thrown at her by the slave's chaser. The weight struck Harriet in the side of the head and caused her tosuffer periodic blackouts for the rest of her life.  In 1844, Harriet married a free black man named, John Tubman. Harriet remained a slave, but was allowed to live with him in his cabin.
