Deborah Sampson dressed as a man because she wanted to be in the war. In that time, women were not aloud in the war. She made up a new name which was Robert Shureff. He (she) was shot in the head and leg. The doctor said that he would need to get them out of him so Robert told the doctor that he could treat his head but he could not treat his leg. If he did, they would find out her secret and knowing that she might never walk again, she went back out to war. 10
