Margaret Corbin
Margaret Cochran Corbin is a woman who fought during the American Revolutionary War. On November 16, 1776, her husband, John Corbin, was one of about 600 American soldiers defending Fort Washington in upper Manhattan from 4000 Hessian soldiers attacking under British command. Margaret, too worried to let her husband fight alone, decided she wanted to go with him. Because she is a nurse, she works with her husband to act as a wounded assistant. John Corbin was in the line of one of the two guns deployed by the defenders; When he fell, Margaret Corbin took her place and continued to shoot until she was also seriously injured. It is said that Corbin was standing next to her husband when he fell during the battle. She immediately accepted her position, and because she saw her husband, a trained artillery soldier, shoot a lot, she was able to shoot, clean, and aim the cannon with ease and speed.
