Love this story, Tara. No matter if it’s only partially true it demonstrates the courage of women who also fought for a free nation. America is truly home of the brave who throughout our history have done whatever they could to preserve this beautiful Republic of, for and by the people.
If even half of it is true - what a fighter! Your summary is excellent: "And maybe it’s enough to know that women, as well as men, fought hard and put their lives on the line during our war for independence." And my granddaughters love your book on women in the War of Independence: SHE FOUGHT, TOO, stories of women who fought in that war. Thank you, Tara Ross
That was a very enjoyable story to read this morning as I had to chucked at several of Nancy's escapades. Truly, women had strength, perseverance, and determination to support the struggle for our nation. Their men were away and yet, they still had a farm or business, plus a family to care for. Thank you Tara.
Nancy’s story is one of 20 in a book called “Women of the American Revolution “, by Susan Casey. It’s one of those books you won’t want to put down once you start reading it.
Leaky cabin that you could pass firearms and throw boiling soap makings through the chinks... Apparently she was in the Broad River valley in NE Georgia.
We all love stories of such bravery! Sometimes legend blends into myth, but with some basis in the past truth. Praise to Nancy Hart for her part in freeing our nation.
Nancy Hart was definitely a "Wahatche". Whether most or all of the stories about Nancy Hart are true or not, she definitely was a woman who fought or defended the cause of the American people during the Revolutionary War. Thank you Tara for giving Nancy Hart a heroes welcome in your blog. May all women who supported the cause of this nation receive recognition.

Interesting story Tara, fact verses fiction somewhere in between lies truth and legends. Thanks for sharing and please write more.
We need our heroes! Often they are imperfect & part legend yet we need them. This post about Nancy Hart reminded me of an essay I wrote a few years ago…https://open.substack.com/pub/dianaerbio/p/our-heroes-and-what-they-say-about?r=ourzx&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=false

We know women were a force and today we learned of another soul who help this nation win. Maybe one or many combined to be the soul. Thank you Tara.
Thank you Tara for another great TDIH, this is why we love history. 😊🍎
