Patriot Poem

The woman who once disguised herself as a man

She served in the Army disguised as male

She hid her gender carefully

Female heroism, courage

Deborah Sampson

Joined Patriot forces

Was caught because camp illnesses

It’s Robert Shurtleff, that’s the disguised name

They named a ship after her when she died
