Not sure what to think about the entire story. Don't get me wrong, I'm crazy about Belle! Another Civil War nurse who went on to study medicine, became Dr. Belle Reynolds, these stories are wonderful. The bottom line would be there's no proof on Major Belle other than she did what she did, provided invaluable service, was a capable, stubborn and independent woman. It's a great story- she was a great woman.
So no good deed goes unpunished;
A tepid apology for this kind of affront....... and from copious digging, I can find nothing but innuendo as proof for this stuff. Really cannot- a lot of pious outrage, nothing to prove that a married couple traveling in the company of a professional man was some cover for him taking his mistress along. Maybe there is some, just have not found it.
