Hello and Welcome to Nothing Ever Happens in Canada, but we know this is simply not true! I'm Canadian Girl thanks for joining me today. This week we're going to look at the tale of a young girl who left her home in NB, Canada in search of a better life. What she quickly discovered was life was a lot easier as a man. She would chop her hair, put on pair pants and set out on a brave adventure under her new name "Frank Thompson" she was Sarah Emma Edmonds and you're not going to want to miss this tale!   I really do appreciate your comments, you can email me at [email protected]  or contact me on social media at @nothingcanada on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter.    Web Page nothingcanada.com  Support the Show Leave a shiny 5 🌟 review https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/nothing-ever-happens-in-canada/id1434418051?mt=2 Souvenir Shop - Merch 🇨🇦🛍 https://nothingcanada.threadless.com/ 🔵PayPal https://www.paypal.me/nothingcanada1  or at nothingcanada.com A part of the Straight Up Strange Network, check us out! straightupstrange.com 🖖🏼👽   Podcast Recommendations  The Woods Podcast   https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-woods/id1439996454   Haunted Happenstance   http://hauntedhappenstance.libsyn.com/  The Haunted Ride Podcast   https://thehauntedride.com/blog   Info Gathered from  You Tube video  https://youtu.be/WU9y_rpbPP8 https://youtu.be/4OTiRAylPek  https://www.unb.ca/nbmhp-database/york-county/soldiers-in-york-country/sarah-emma-edmonds-american-civil-war-veteran.php https://www.nps.gov/people/sarah-emma-edmonds.htm https://www.librarypoint.org/blogs/post/emma-edmonds/ https://www.britannica.com/biography/Sarah-Edmonds https://www.canadashistory.ca/explore/women/soldier-girl-the-emma-edmonds-story https://www.thoughtco.com/sarah-emma-edmonds-frank-thompson-3528659 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarah_Emma_Edmonds https://www.battlefields.org/learn/biographies/sarah-emma-edmonds
