23 - THE FEARLESS "WAR WOMAN" | Nancy Hart (Patriot) | Revolutionary War

Nancy was a tall, lanky, powerful woman, standing nearly 6 feet and perfectly bred for backwoods life. She had long, thick hair and a fearless, determined spirit. Friends said she was an excellent shot with a rifle and could handle a man’s full day of heavy labor with nary a complaint. She was also a skilled herbalist and backwoods doctor and a devout Christian. She always helped her neighbors and defended them when necessary.   Born Nancy Morgan in the 1740s in North Carolina. When about 25 years old she moved to Georgia marrying Benjamin Hart. They had six sons and two daughters. A well-known, respected, and scrappy family of Georgians. Many places in Georgia today preserve the family name “Hart.”   It wasn’t long before young Nancy received the nickname “War Woman,” given to her by a local Cherokee chief who had once gotten on her bad side. But mostly, she was an early and passionate patriot for the American cause of independence from Great Britain.
