The remarkable story of Deborah Sampson, a woman who fought in the
American Revolution disguised as a man-and who ends up finding her
true identity and purpose in life. 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
unbelievable story from American history about a woman with a rebel
spirit will inspire and enlighten young readers. "Cloaked in
Courage is inspiring storytelling centering the life and actions of
a brave woman and soldier, Deborah Sampson. Anderson's contribution
brings to light a lesser-known hero in history and emphasizes the
importance of historical investigation and research." -Lori Ann
Terjesen, director of education, National Women's History Museum
Here is the first-ever picture book about female Revolutionary War
activist Prudence Wright, who rallied the first and only group of
"minute women" to fight the British, changing history in the
process. Prudence Wright had a spark of independence. Annoyed when
the British king held back freedoms in colonial Massachusetts,
feisty and fearless Prudence had enough. She said no! to British
goods, determined to rely on her resourcefulness and ingenuity to
get by. And when British troops continued to threaten the lives of
her family and community, she assembled and led the "minute women"
of Pepperell to break free of tradition. This untold story of a
courageous and brave woman from the Revolutionary War continues to
inspire today.
