Wasn’t Harriet Tubman known as “Moses” during her Underground Railroad days?

In grade school they taught us that “Moses” Tubman was so determined to lead fleeing slaves to freedom that when one would say he was too exhausted to go on, she pointed her pistol at him and said, “You go on or die”.

I do remember that. I also remember another story about her when she was confronted by a Southern bounty hunter who tried to arrest her. She pulled out her gun and made it clear to him in no uncertain terms she was willing to use it. He just went the other way and let her go.
