Abstract
- The article focuses on Sarah Bradlee Fulton, the woman who helped 50 colonial men sneak aboard three ships in Boston Harbor, Massachusetts. It was her idea to dress some of the men in Mohawk Indian clothes and face paint. The ships that the men boarded were owned by East India Co. and were loaded with tea. Working quietly, the disguised men threw 342 crates of tea into Boston Harbor. Then they sneaked away. Today, Sarah is often referred to as the Mother of the Boston Tea Party for her help in making this plan work. This "daughter of liberty" was also known for running messages for George Washington, U.S. President, caring for wounded soldiers, and stealing a load of firewood from British soldiers.
