They Didn't Just Enlist in Wartime, Part 2

In my last blog post, I shared an article about a New York woman who enlisted in 1855, before the war.  Click [HERE] for it.  The following appeared in the Davenport Daily Gazette in October 1865, relating a brief story about an Iowa woman who had been serving at Camp McClellan six months after Lee surrendered.

 Mark lives about thirty minutes from Davenport, and we travel through there frequently.   Here are a couple of pictures he took from the location of Camp McClellan.

Here is a map showing the boundaries of Camp McClellan marked on a map of present-day Davenport:

Interestingly, this isn't the only woman soldier associated with Camp McClellan.  Click [HERE] to read an article I wrote about another one.

Until next formation....rest.
