Women in the Revolution

July of 1782

Deborah Samson was 15 years old and she had heard of the Declaration of Independence for the first time. Deborah granted her Independence. Deborah still yearns for adventure. Deborah will diguise herself as a man. She stitches together a mans suit then walks 40 miles to sign up. She enters a tavern where men are being recruited. Deborah deepens her voice and made up a name. The name was Robert Shurtlift. Deborah used the name of a brother who had died long before. Deborah is tall and she grew muscular on the farm so they thought she was a young boy. I chose to write about Deborah Samson because I feel she has a good heart and she is really smart.These are some facts about Deborah Samson.
