RE: The Unstoppable Redneck Fireball Girl From The South Who Fought For The North In The Civil War
After seeing one battle and watching people die I can't imagine wanting to go back into another battle. It would be interesting to know why she was so driven to fight. Especially with how often she was wounded herself!
Howdy Melinda! I know, some of the women wrote about their time in the war but apparently she didn't unfortunately because her entire story is astounding. They should do a movie about her.
That would make a fantastic story. You should write it. You definitely have the words.
Cordelia Harvey is a favorite historical figure of mine. Cordelia Harvey: Civil War Angel (Badger Biographies Series) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HCOVJTI/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_2L6oDb315JAB3
OH, that is so interesting. I've never heard anything to do with what happened to the soldiers recovering after the war or from wounds. I know that they cut off alot of limbs back then because they didn't have antibiotics and good ways to stop infections.
Her story is remarkable!
