Deborah Sampson by Laura K. Murray introduces young readers to the remarkable American woman who disguised herself as a man to serve in the Continental Army during the Revolutionary War. 

The biography explores Sampson's early life, the challenges she faced as a woman in eighteenth-century America, and her determination to participate in the fight for independence. Readers learn how she enlisted under the name Robert Shurtliff, concealed her identity while serving as a soldier, and endured the dangers of military life. The book also examines her accomplishments and the circumstances that eventually brought her service to an end. 

Through accessible nonfiction text and colourful illustrations, it highlights Sampson's courage while explaining the historical restrictions placed on women's opportunities. Part of the Biographies series, this introductory account helps children understand her contribution to American history and the significance of her military service.
