Did you know that many women disguised themselves as men and fought in the Civil War? They all had different reasons - some followed their husbands or brothers, some wanted the bounty that soldiers received, and others believed so passionately in the cause that they felt compelled to fight. I'll Pass for Your Comrade explores many of the women who fought in the Civil War - why they joined, how they kept their secret, what they did in the war, and what happened to them if they were found out. The text is very readable and the book has lots and lots of great photos that bring these women to life. Highly recommended for history buffs and units on women's history.
