How many Women fought in the Union Army ?...

[dogtag]

I seem to remember reading about a Woman who dressed
as a Man in order to do so - but how many actually joined
up (as Women), were equipped and went off to fight ?
Right, I thought so.

There are quite a few substantiated stories that wifes (in disquise) joined up with their husbands and carried arms and fought. Women by the hundreds joined the hospital services.
