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
