Women in the American Revolution
by Jeanne Munn Bracken

9781932663235

Women in the American Revolution picks up where usual historical accounts of the Revolutionary War leave off — with the varied roles and contributions of women in camp, on the homefront, and serving as spies, messengers, and soldiers.  This anthology of letters, journals, and eyewitness accounts tells a part of the story of women who helped on both sides of the war, from colonist Molly Pitcher to Hessian Baroness von Riedesel, from messenger Deborah Champion to soldier Deborah Sampson.
