    And you'll be shocked what they did with her bloomers. We Texas women rock. :-)

      I was part of 1st Texas (North-South Skirmish Assn.) back in the '70s. We researched the unit history, but didn't know this story.
      The NSSA 1st Texas of one of two Confederate units in Michigan.

      I forgot to mention that I also hadn't known this until I read it today in "Last Chance For Victory" which I highly recommend.
