The Memoir of a Female Soldier: Deborah Sampson's American Revolution
But she wanted respect for the woman she was. Twenty years later she was a wife and mother, disabled by her war wound, her petition for a veteran's pension ignored by Congress, and the victim of media misinformation. She went on the road to earn money and tell her story as the first American woman to do a lecture tour. In this fictionalized memoir, Deborah seeks to set the record straight about her life and military service, and to overcome prejudice against her. This historical novel is based closely on the author's three years of research, including living in the house where Deborah was born. Written nearly fifty years ago, her book is published now for the first time.
