Fascinating, Paige. Thank you for posting this. The Smithsonian has an article on women who concealed their identities and fought in the war here.

"Even though women weren’t legally allowed to fight in the Civil War, it is estimated that somewhere around 400 women disguised themselves as men and went to war, sometimes without anyone ever discovering their true identities."
