Nurse, Soldier, Spy: The Story of Sarah Edmonds, a Civil War Hero by Marissa Moss
4.0
What is a girl to do when her parents want her to dawn a wedding dress and marry a man of their choosing? Runs away, of course.
This girl had the gall to ditch her skirts and dress as a man to fight in the Civil War. She not only acted as a nurse and a soldier, but she went undercover as a slave to figure out how the Confederates knew about the Union's plans. Girl went hard. An amazing story of an amazing woman who fought against slavery when she herself was a white Canadian woman. She could have let this war go on without her but she risked her life (and a dishonorable discharge) to fight for what's right.
