The Liberty Daughters Book Club, hosted  Saturday, March 23, 2024. They read the book, " A Girl Called Samson," by Amy Harmon was discussed by DAR members. Collectively the book received an 8.5 rating out of a possible 10. The book is based on the story of Deborah Samson, who was born in Massachusetts and bound out as an indentured servant due to her family's poverty. Desiring independence and impassioned by the revolutionary cause, she disguises herself as a soldier and enlists in the Continental Army. Long after the war ended she fought for her right to receive a pension as a soldier and is the first female to receive a pension as a member of the Armed Services. After an enlightening discussion of the book, the group adjourned to Lucca Italian Chophouse for lunch. The Liberty Daughter's next book club meeting is scheduled for May  The book for discussion is The Sewing Girl's Tale: A story of Crime and Consequences in Revolutionary America by John Wood Sweet. The time and place will be determined.
