Origin During the American Revolutionary War , Bess Lynn was a frontier nurse who travelled from town to town aiding the sick and injured. She was also a staunch American patriot who was vehemently opposed to British tyranny. However, she believed she could not openly oppose the British for fear they would retaliate by harming her brother, who was being held captive in England .
