Her true story is as remarkable and exciting as it was dangerous. Disguising herself as a man named Franklin Flint Thompson and enlisting in the Union army, Emma saw front-line battle and acted as a spy.

A master of disguise, she even traveled into enemy territory as a black man and an Irish woman. She stated her reason for leaving after two years' service was due to contracting malaria.

Her poignant story was published to great acclaim in 1864 and quickly became a best seller. After the war she was lauded by former compatriots and given a small government pension.

The only woman inducted into the Union veterans organization, The Grand Army of the Republic, she was inducted into the Michigan Women's Hall of Fame in 1992.

Every memoir of the American Civil War provides us with another view of the catastrophe that changed the country forever.

For the first time, this long out-of-print volume is available as an affordable, well-formatted book for e-readers and smartphones.
