RE: Women who disguised themselves as men and went to war
I know that over the past decade or so more research has been done and the documented evidence has pushed the numbers of women who served as soldiers upwards. One of the Surratt Society members (and a wonderful speaker), Dr. Elizabeth Leonard of Colby College in Maine, wrote a book entitled All the Daring of a Soldier about the women in uniform. Another author, whose name I can't remember as usual, wrote something similar.

One of our volunteers at Surratt House is researching a female who was a prisoner at Point Lookout in Maryland and actually gave birth to a son during her incarceration as a soldier POW.
