FOR SARAH EMMA Edmonds’s life story, I relied on her own memoir, Unsexed, or the Female Soldier, published first in 1864, reprinted as Nurse and Spy in 1865, as well as Sylvia G. L. Dannett’s She Rode with the Generals: The True and Incredible Story of Sarah Emma Seelye, alias Franklin Thompson, Thomas Nelson & Sons, 1960; The Mysterious Private Thompson: The Double Life of Sarah Emma Edmonds, Civil War Soldier by Laura Leedy Gansler, Bison Books, 1970; Where Duty Calls: The Story of Sarah Emma Edmonds, Soldier and Spy in the Union Army by Marilyn Seguin, Branden Books, 1999; and numerous books on women in the Civil War as well as on the Civil War in general.
