Co-authors Diane Abbott and Kristoffer Gair present the fresh and daring journey of Sarah 'Emma' Edmonds, the first woman in American history to receive a Civil War pension. Posing as a man, she enlisted in the Civil War and served as soldier, nurse and spy for the Union army. Researched thoroughly in two countries, this book reveals the true, kindred spirit of a woman who lived and fought for what she believed in throughout her passionate and often shrouded life.
