The classic cliche of what happens when you get a person from the 21st century and dump them unwillingly into 18th century America. The past is based on the accounts of Deborah Sampson, who impersonated a man to fight for her country, and the book Soldier's Secret by Sheila Solomon Klass. This was the result of my crazed, inspired imagination for a project in humanities a LOOOOOOONG while back.
I always like to picture the reactions that time travelers invoke on the people of the past, so VOILA!
