Historians estimate that between 400 and 1,000 women on both Union and Confederate sides disguised themselves as men to enlist and fight in the American Civil War.
Many served undetected for months or years, participating in major battles, enduring camp life, and facing the same risks as their male comrade. Francis Clayton enlisted with her husband in a Missouri Union unit as Jack Williams.
She reportedly fought in 18 battles, including Fort Donaldelsson, where she was wounded, Shiloh, and Stones River, where her husband was reportedly killed in front of her.
She continued fighting afterwards.
