Dear family , I believe that women should be able to fight alongside men. Since I am tall I was able to disguise myself as a man. It wasn’t easy, the men teased me about not growing facial hair. I didn’t want anyone to find out my identity. This ended up causing many problems. For example during my first battle I was shot in the leg. I didn’t want anyone to find out I was a lady so I tended my own wound. The result being that it never healed properly. I was able to get the first musket ball out but the second was in too deep. I still have the musket ball in my leg and it is very important to me because it reminds me of how strong I was. I was later hospitalized where they found out I was a woman yet the doctor didn’t betray me. He let me live with him, his wife, and daughter. I was asked to deliver a letter to general John Paterson I thought my secret was out. I was later honorably discharged from the army. Now that my battle days are over I have come home and married farmer Benjamin Gannet and had five children. You can come and visit me soon and I can show you my army uniform which is very important to me because of the war memories it brings back. I could also show you my journal where I wrote all my secrets. I am looking forward to seeing you. Sincerely, Deborah Sampson Gannet Reflection:
Deborah Sampson wanted the colonists to be free from England so she enlisted in the army as a man. She got shot in the leg and didn't want to go to a doctor because they would find out she was a lady. Since her leg never healed properly she wasn't able to walk normally. She was hospitalized later for a head wound and the doctor found her true identity. She was honorably discharged from the army.
I really liked the militia, the British grenadier, and the trapper and trader. I liked the militia because he had cool weapons and he showed us how to use all of them and what to do and what not to do. I liked the British grenadier because he showed us all the stuff the army men got and showed us the different positions they would hold their guns. I liked hearing about how the trapper and trader would see people with bad beaver skins ripping off people telling them they were the prime beaver skins. I didn't really like the surveyor because it was really confusing and it Being the last thing we saw our time was cut short so I don't think we got as much information as we could out of it. there were a lot of cool stations and I really think I learned a lot. I think it was really cool to learn what it would have been like back then.
