Emily Geiger (1765–1825) is an American Revolutionary War heroine who was captured by the British while on a military mission as a civilian. She was carrying an important message across enemy grounds when she was captured and questioned. The Tory matron could find nothing on her because Geiger had memorized the message, then eaten it, so they had to let her go. She proceeded, reached the general she had sought, and verbally delivered the message.
