Deborah Sampsons Historical Legacy

Deborah Sampson's Historical Legacy: A Symbol of Courage in America’s History

Deborah Sampson earned a full military pension for her service in the Revolutionary War. But there’s a catch: Women weren’t allowed to serve in the war. Still, in 1782, as the Revolutionary War fought on, Deborah Sampson disguised herself as a man named Robert Shurtleff to join the Fourth Massachusetts Regiment and serve for the Patriot forces. The name, according to the American Battlefield Trust, was chosen because it was the name of her brother, who had passed away.
