When I first started researching women soldiers of the Civil War over ten years ago, I felt that a lot of the accounts were not complete and that there was more to learn. Dissatisfied, I set out to try to find answers. And thus, Mark and I have embarked on quite a few adventures. I'm sure he is growing weary of my incessant queries. How? Who? Where? When? Why? WHy?? WHY???? It's as if I have regressed back to my toddler days or something. Thankfully, Mark is very patient and I would not have learned nearly as much as I have without his expertise in everything military. But, I can't help that I'm inquisitive and enjoy sleuthing. Naturally, the Mystery Woman of Shiloh has always been on my radar. And even though she will always remain an enigma, please allow me to indulge in my geekiness nevertheless.
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.
