Anyone check out Sarah Jane Walker? Civil War contract surgeon and the first and only woman to win the Medal of Honor for her services during the Civil War?

Neil, that was Dr. Mary Walker. I haven't done a search on her lately, so I don't know if there are any good websites dedicated only to her. She certainly was a corker! BTW, she is the only woman EVER to win the Medal of Honor. The government took it away in the early 20th Century (as it did so many.) It was officially reinstated in the 1970s.

The Union Forever!
