Deborah Sampson didn’t like being told what to do, especially by the King of England. Fiercely independent, 18-year-old Deborah enlists as Robert Shurtliff in George Washington’s Continental Army to fight for her country’s independence. But being a soldier is hard, dangerous work. Can she fight for her country and keep her identity a secret? Can she also discover who she really is and find her true purpose?
This is the remarkable story of Deborah Sampson, a woman who fought in the American Revolution disguised as a man — and who ends up finding herself in the process. Author Beth Anderson and illustrator Anne Lambelet have created a thrilling picture book biography that captures this unbelievable story from American history about a woman with a rebel spirit, which will inspire and enlighten young readers.
