Thank you Rynna for this beautiful and timely article. And, yes, there are many heroic women today that continue to go forth with faith.

I have never heard this particular story before. Thank you for writing about a very courageous and patriotic woman. We need to hear more of these types of stories.

What a wonderful story. And extra nice because it is about a NC woman. Yes, I am from NC....gorgeous northern mountains, to be exact.

You are CERTAIN that no one else has thought about the contributions of women to the Revolution? Wow. This reads like something written in 1958, not 2018. I'm glad that you are recognizing that women were essential in the founding and building (and now, I hope, the saving) of our nation, but really, this is a new thought?!! Yikes.
