Re: Female soldier
Kerry,
Wish there was some census info, but I found nothing today of any help. Did find in military service records that Charles Junghaus was b in Germany, stood 5'5", brown eyes and brown hair. Cannot make out the complexion description. Enlisted in St Louis 8/15/1861. Apparently died in the hospital from wounds received at Resaca. The 3rd MO saw a lot of action and this must have been one busy soldier.
Like you, find the women's part interesting but have not done any reading on the topic.
