From The Female Review: Life of Deborah Sampson, the Female Soldier in the War of Revolution.
An effort in underway to add a State House memorial, honoring Deborah Samson, a hero of the American Revolution who disguised herself as a man in order to serve in the Continental Army.
Reps. Linda Dean Campbell of Methuen and David Vieira of Falmouth filed legislation to establish a 15-member commission to design the memorial. They said Samson “meets the very high bar set for those who are worthy of being memorialized in the State House.”
