Elizabeth Quinn ("Frances Hook") and Ella Reno: Myths, Misconceptions, and Mistakes

 I felt I needed to make this video sorting out all the garbled mess surrounding the accounts of Elizabeth Quinn, a.k.a. "Frances Hook," and Ella Reno. It ended up being longer than I originally planned, and even then I still didn't discuss all of the discrepancies in their stories.

(Not sure if I will ever be comfortable making videos!)

 



My blog posts I referenced in the video: 

Finding Frances: My Quest to Discover the True Frances Hook 

A Monument to a Civil War Woman Soldier? .

 

I created a couple of documents which I hope will provide a helpful, organized summary of the information I discussed in the video.  


Comparison between Quinn and Reno by topic:
