Sorry for the title, but I couldn't resist.
Previously, I wrote about the life of William Johnson, the Barber of Natchez, who was a free black man and slaveowner. Click (HERE) for the post. This was part 1 of an article detailing forgotten or little known aspects of Natchez history. Part 2 deals with women soldiers and their connection to the Bluff City.
Hundreds, perhaps thousands, of women disguised themselves as men and served in the Civil War. I present research, both previously published along with new discoveries, to document the lives and trials of these extraordinary women.
