review 1: To avoid an arranged marriage, Sarah Edmonds dressed as a man and ran off to Canada. It worked out so well for her that she continued dressing as a man and eventually returned to Michigan where she signed up in the Union army under the name of Frank Thompson. Frank was involved in quite a few battles, served as a nurse, and even a spy.I liked the illustrations in this colorful book and wish I had come across it a bit sooner when we were studying the Civil War. holiday #bookaday
review 2: Clear writing, well-paced, bold illustrations, and typography from Civil War posters, tell the story of Sarah Edmonds who disguised herself as a man to join the Union Army during the war as a soldier, trained and served as a nurse, then became a spy by changing her appearance a... moregain to look like an African American and slip into the Confederate Army ranks. Fascinating photos of Sarah as a woman and a man are included in the backmatter along with an informative approx. 1,000 word Author's Note, an Artist's note, Author's Bibliography, and Artist's Bibliography (when have you seen that!), and a Glossary. less
