When war came, I was 46 years old. I offered my services as a nurse to my country. I was assigned to an infantry regiment and served with them from June 1861 to Christmas 1865. I saw action at 1st and 2nd Bull Run, Fredericksburg and Gettysburg. I was captured twice, but released both times due to my tending to the wounded of both Union and Confederate soldiers. In one instance, a high ranking officer authorized my return to my own lines. Years after the war, my portrait was hung in the State House of my state. I never married.
1: What is my name and what regiment was I assigned to ?
2: Who was the high ranking officer that authorized my return to my own lines ?
3: What was the significance of my portrait being hung in the Sate House of my state ?

Edit - Actually, this is a 4 parter, since the first question requires two answers.
