Anna Elizabeth Dickinson, born in 1842 and died in 1932, was known as “America’s Civil War Joan of Arc.” In January of 1864, President Lincoln invited her to address Congress, the Cabinet, and the Supreme Court to rally support for the Union cause and the fight against slavery. She devoted the rest of her life to justice, liberty, and basic human rights for all people—male or female, black or white, rich or poor—and contributed to the 15th Amendment, prohibiting the disenfranchisement of any person based on race, sex, color, or previous servitude. She lived in the Village of Goshen for the last forty-one years of her life.
