That's the title of an excellent article in the always-top drawer Michigan History magazine that just came out. Available on newstands everywhere. Go to www.michiganhistory.com and click on "Alias Franklin Thompson" for more info on a certain Sarah Edmonds.
We at Michigan History magazine always appreciate a nod to our publication. The author of the article you mentioned, Megan Buff, did a fine job of reasearching the four women mentioned in the article (and she was a pleasure to work with).
In the process of fact-checking, we realized that Michigan History magazine had published an comprehensive article on Sarah Edmonds in 1958. In an effort to provide our readers with rich content both online and in print, we digitized the article (as we are doing with many of our back issues)and included it on our web site. We're glad it is already getting some attention.
