"What shall I say further? Shall I not stop short and leave to your imaginations to portray the tragic deeds of war? Is it not enough that I here leave it to the unexperienced to fancy the hardships, the anxieties, the dangers, even of the best life of a soldier?
My companions taxed me with presumption and folly, but I was determined, then and always, not to be a coward."
-Deborah Sampson
