Details

"One fact about [the Civil War] has rarely been mentioned until recently. . . .[H]undreds of women disguised themselves as men so they could fight as soldiers." Among them were Sarah Rosetta Wakeman, who joined the Union army in order to make money, and Melverina Peppercorn, who enlisted with the Confederate army to stay near her twin brother. This book explores the motivations and describes the experiences of these and other women who fought in the Civil War. Author's note. Bibliography. Source notes. Index. Black-and-white photographs and time-period illustrations.
