About this person
In the book, she describes how as a teenager, she was not allowed to marry the man whom she loved, and so she disguised herself as a man and had many adventures, including fighting and being wounded in the Mexican-American War, though some sources question the veracity of her claims. She was also known as Eliza Billings.
