Expressing the sense of the Congress that Harriet Tubman should have
been paid a pension for her service as a nurse and scout in the United
States Army during the Civil War.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
MARCH 29, 2001
Mr. TOWNS submitted the following concurrent resolution; which was referred
to the Committee on Armed Services
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of the Congress that Harriet Tubman
should have been paid a pension for her service as a
nurse and scout in the United States Army during the
Civil War.
Whereas during the Civil War Harriet Tubman reported to
General David Hunter at Hilton Head, South Carolina,
with a letter from Governor John Andrews of Massachu-
setts allowing her to serve in the Union Army;
Whereas Harriet Tubman served at Hilton Head as a nurse,
scout, spy, and cook;
Whereas in the spring of 1865, Harriet Tubman worked at
the Freedman’s hospital in Fortress Monroe, Virginia;
Whereas Harriet Tubman’s last husband, Nelson Davis,
served in the United States Colored Infantry under Cap-
•HCON 92 IH
tain James S. Thompson, beginning on September 25,
1863, and was discharged on November 10, 1865;
Whereas Harriet Tubman received a pension as the spouse of
a deceased veteran;
Whereas Harriet Tubman requested a pension for her own
service in the Union Army during the Civil War, but
never received one;
Whereas a bill that passed the House of Representatives in
1897 during the 55th Congress (H.R. 4982) would have
required that Harriet Tubman be placed on the pension
roll of the United States for her service as a nurse in the
United States Army and paid a pension at the rate of
$25 each month instead of all other pensions;
Whereas some females who served in the military during the
Civil War received a pension for their service, including
Sarah Emma Edmonds Seelye and Albert Cashier, each
of whom posed as a male; and
Whereas Harriet Tubman died of pneumonia on March 10,
1913, and was buried at Fort Hill Cemetery in Auburn,
New York, with military honors: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate
concurring), That—
(1) the Congress recognizes that Harriet Tub-
man served as a nurse and scout in the United
States Army during the Civil War; and
(2) it is the sense of the Congress that Harriet
Tubman should have been paid a pension at the rate

of $25 each month for her service in the United
