A Master of Disguise — Sarah Fulton

As a member of the Daughters of Liberty, Sarah Fulton became involved in protests and the planning of the Boston Tea Party.   Sarah is credited with disguising the Sons of Liberty as Native Americans. After the protest, the men returned to Fulton’s home, where she helped remove face paint and hide the disguises from British authorities.   At the Battle of Bunker Hill, Sarah gathered women from the town and began to nurse the wounded soldiers. She aided in establishing a makeshift hospital within the town, giving out bandages and medicine to the men. The following year in 1776, her husband was asked to send an urgent message to General George Washington by Major John Brooks. Sarah took the message instead and successfully passed enemy lines to the Charleston waterfront, where Washington and his men were stationed. After receiving the message, Washington personally thanked Sarah for her bravery and dedication to independence.
