I consider myself a serious student of women and their lives and roles in the Civil War. I research and collect (books, clothes, and photos) to gather information, and write, give
talks, and belong to organizations like SWCW as a way of sharing the information. My books include Who Wore What, and An Introduction to Civil War Civilians. In 2007, I was
named a Fellow in the Company of Military Historians.I come from the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, but live in Cuddebackville, western Orange County, New York, with my
husband, Les Jensen

Seeking information on ancestor request. I am trying to find any information regarding a female ancestor who served as a male in the Civil War. Her name was Mary E. Cooper of
Walker County Georgia.
Unfortunately, I don't know what name she served as and only know her year of birth (1842) and her parents' names. Without the name she used, I have been unable to locate any
additional information.
Can you recommend any possible sources that I can pursue?

Mary Walker was a surgeon in the union army and was captured and kept in Libby prison in Richmond, VA, I have a book written by her entitled HIT. I am interested in sources of
information about her.
I am also interested in sources of information about women in the state of Virginia (using the after war boarders) who took steps to resist or defeat the rebellion against our U.S.
Government.

Hi, I am a 25 yr old mother of two. I am married to a wonderful man. I am a history major and am working on my bachelor of Arts in History. I will graduate in the Spring of 2008
and from there go on to get my Masters degree. I come from a long line of historians, my mother has her doctorate degree and has written a book on women in Vietnam. I carry a
3.5 GPA, and am going to attend two conferences this year to present my paper on Women Soldiers in the Civil War and the other paper Women Nurses in the Civil War. I have
received two scholarships both from the History Department. I am currently working and hoping to publish the papers that I wrote, if anyone out there knows anyone who would
publish it please feel free to contact me, also if anyone would like to speak with me about anything I always answer my email. ThankS!!!!
