ABSTRACT
Nancy Morgan Hart and her husband Benjamin lived in the Broad River Settlement of Georgia. Nancy was especially determined to do anything she could to help the American rebels gain their freedom from the rule of England. Nancy dressed as a man and acted like she was mentally unstable. When General Clarke needed information about an enemy camp in South Carolina, it was Nancy who made a crude raft from logs, grapevines, then crossed the Savannah River. One evening, Nancy was working inside her cabin when one of her children whispered that an eyeball was peering through a chink in the cabin wall. Nancy took a ladle full of hot water from the pot on the fire and threw it at the eyeball. Nancy was always ready to help any patriot, her friends, neighbors. When one local patriot was being chased by British soldiers, he ran into Nancy's cabin. Nancy invited them in and opened up her supply of wine.
