Cloaked in Courage: Uncovering Deborah Sampson, Patriot Soldier (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781635926101)

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
