Sarah Emma Edmonds (December 1841 – September 5, 1898), was a Canadian-conceived lady who is referred to for filling in as a man with the Union Army during the American Civil War. In 1992, she was enlisted into the Michigan Women's Hall of Fame.Born in 1841 in New Brunswick, at that point a British settlement, Edmonds grew up with her sisters on their family's homestead close Magaguadavic Lake, not a long way from the outskirt with the State of Maine. Edmonds fled home at age fifteen to get away from a masterminded marriage and the maltreatment of her dad, who needed a child rather than a girl. Supported by her mom, who herself wedded youthful, Edmonds got away from the marriage and eventually embraced the appearance of Franklin Thompson to travel simpler. A male mask permitted Edmonds to eat, travel, and work freely. Intersection into the United States of America, Edmonds worked for an effective Bible book retailer and distributer in Hartford, Connecticut.
