Synopsis

Excerpt from The Female Review: Life of Deborah Sampson, the Female Soldier in the War of Revolution; With an Introduction and Notes The American Revolution was a great event. Thirteen feeble colonies, scattered along more than a thousand miles of seacoast, and vulnerable at every point, dared to resist the colossal power of one of the oldest and strongest monarchies of the world. Without adequate preparation, without a general government, without a revenue, without a navy, and almost without an army, or the means of keeping an army together, they entered the fearful struggle, and, by the help of God, prevailed. All well-authenticated facts, even the most minute, connected with this great struggle, possess a deep and an enduring interest. Every individual history included in that great drama serves to help out and enlarge our idea of what was then transacted. Viewed in this light, the story of Deborah Sampson will be found worthy of attentive consideration. It is sufficiently romantic in itself; but, considered as a tale of Revolutionary times, it is entitled to special regard. It affords, to some extent, a picture of those times, and opens before us scenes of trial and hardship, of patriotism and fortitude, that enable us better to conceive of that great conflict. The general credit of the facts recorded in this volume cannot be shaken. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
