In rural New York, nineteen-year-old Rosetta Wakeman longed for a life beyond the family farm. One day she made a brave, bold choice: she cut her braid and disguised herself as a man. No one suspected that \"Lyons\" was a woman--not even when she signed up to fight for the Union. As Rosetta's new regiment traveled to Virginia, Washington, D.C., and Louisiana, she sent letter after letter home to New York. Army life wasn't easy, but Rosetta knew it was where she belonged--keeping her family safe and her country free. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Through intricately detailed scratchboard art and excerpts from Rosetta's letters, this fascinating biography introduces young readers to an unconventional woman who was determined to claim her own place in history.
