Video - 155th Anniversary of the Battle of the Crater

Today marks the 155th anniversary of the Battle of the Crater, and I wanted to share a video Mark and I made with a good friend of ours, Aaron Rowland, who is a ranger at Petersburg National Battlefield.  In it, we discuss the battle and the woman soldier whose body was discovered there.

Video: Jennie Hodgers's Name Etched on the Illinois Monument, Vicksburg National Military Park

Next time you visit the battlefield in Vicksburg, find the name of "Albert D. J. Cashier" on a tablet inside the Illinois monument.  That is the male alias of Jennie Hodgers who served throughout the war in the 95th Illinois Infantry.  In this video, I show you where it is.  How many more such names do we gaze upon that are actually hidden women?







Until next formation....rest.
