I'll Pass for Your Comrade: Women Soldiers in the Civil War

118 pp. | Clarion | December, 2008 | Trade ISBN 978-0-618-57491-9 $17.00
(2) 4-6 Why did women, disguised as men, fight in the Civil War? How did they pass? And how did these remarkable women transition back into civilian life? Silvey builds an engaging social history around these questions, interspersing solid factual exposition with colorful vignettes and period illustrations and photographs. The broader contexts of the war and the mores of the time give additional resonance. Bib., ind.
