Book Description:
In 1861, when war erupted between the States, President Lincoln made an impassioned plea for volunteers. Determined not to remain on the sidelines, Emma Edmonds cropped her hair, donned men’s clothing, and enlisted in the Union Army. Posing in turn as a slave, peddler, washerwoman, and fop, Emma became a cunning master of disguise, risking discovery and death at every turn behind Confederate lines.

The civil war is not my favorite thing to read about. This is the FIRST book I think I've ever read that was interesting that is about things that went on during that dreadful time. To think that as many as four hundred women did this exact thing during the civil war is amazing. The story flowed well, was not overbearing or depressing.

It was an interesting book, but there was something about the writing that did not feel right for me. Just did not sound like a true story and it is supposed to be.
