Women At War: The Female Soldiers of the American Civil War and Those That Wished They Were
Contrary to popular belief, women did in fact fight in the American Civil War. They also infiltrated the United States Army in earlier wars. Deborah Sampson served for 17 months in the Continental Army during the Revolutionary War as Robert Shurtliff and Lucy Brewer served with the Marines aboard Old Ironsides as George Baker during the War of 1812. Once a taboo topic, modern historians are finally shedding light on the role that female soldiers played in the Civil War and the women who made a living off of lying about their military service.
Speaker Dominish Miller is a well known local historian and co-founder of the Hometown History Podcast.
June 25th at 7:00 pm at the Shrewsbury Township Building. Free! No RSVP Required!
