Anyway, in the summer of 1778, at the battle of Mamma, it was a blisting (blistering) hot day, maybe over 100 degrees, and 5o soldiers died of thirst during the battle. Molly wasn’t content to stay back at camp. Instead, she run through gunshot and canon fire, carrying water and pictures in pitchers from a small stream out to the thirsty American soldiers. The relief that she brought with her picture and pitchers of water gave her the legandary nickname **. The story also says that she continue to load and fire her husband’s canon after he was wounded. They say she was so well-liked by the other soldiers that they called her soldier Molly “Sergeant Molly”. In fact, legend has it that George Washinton himself gave her the special military title. 0 ^. u. S$ e7 M$ s* z3 q1 f
