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.
