In this episode of The American Revolution, Lucas and Luna explore the remarkable story of Deborah Sampson, a Massachusetts woman who disguised herself as a man to enlist in the Continental Army. We follow her journey from an indentured servant in Plympton to her enlistment as 'Robert Shurtlieff' in the 4th Massachusetts Regiment. Discover how she survived the Battle of Tarrytown, endured dangerous wounds she treated herself to avoid discovery, and eventually served as a waiter to General John Paterson. We also discuss the 1792 pension petition, Paul Revere's support, and how she became the first woman to receive a military pension from the United States. A tale of courage, identity, and the overlooked contributions of women in the Revolutionary War. #DeborahSampson #RobertShurtlieff #WomenInHistory #ContinentalArmy #AmericanRevolution #Massachusetts #Plympton #BattleOfTarrytown #GeneralJohnPaterson #PaulRevere #MilitaryPension #4thMassachusettsRegiment #IndenturedServant #Disguise #RevolutionaryWar #History #FexingoHistory #HiddenFigures Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
