Text Appearing Before Image:
I remember Annie
Etheridge
, of Michigan, who was with the Third
Michigan in every battle in which it was engaged.
When their three years service was ended, the re-
enlisted veterans joined the Fifth Michigan, and
Annie went with them. Through the whole four
years of the war she was found in the field, often in
the thickest of the fight, always inspiring the men to
deeds of valor, always respected for her correctness
of life. Soldiers and officers vied with one another
in their devotion to her.
Bridget Devens, known as "Michigan Bridget,"
went to the field with the First Michigan Cavalry,
in which her husband was a private, and served
through the war. Sometimes when a soldier fell
she took his place, fighting in his stead with un-
quailing courage. Sometimes she rallied retreating

A WOMAN IN BATTLE-"MICHIGAN BRIDGET CARRYING THE FLAG"

"Sometimes when a soldier fell she took his place, fighting in his stead with unquailing courage—always fearless
and daring, always doing good service as a soldier."

troops — sometimes she brought off the wounded
from the field — always fearless and daring, always
doing good service as a soldier. Her love of army
life continued after the war ended, and with her
husband she joined a regiment of the regular army,
stationed on the Plains.
Mrs. Kady Brownell was, like Madame Turchin,
born in camp, her father being attached to the Brit-
ish army. She accompanied the Fifth Rhode Island
Infantry to the war, of which regiment her husband
was a non-commissioned officer. She was the color-
bearer of the regiment, and was a skilful sharp-
shooter and expert swordsman. She marched with
the men, and asked no favors as a woman, but bore
the brunt of the battle, on occasion, as fearlessly as
her comrades. She was in General Burnside's expe-
dition
to Roanoke Island and Newbern, where her
husband was severely wounded. When he was pro-
nounced unfit for further service, and discharged,
she also sought a discharge, and retired with him to
private life and domestic duty.
