During the War for Independence there was a woman who enlisted as a man & served in the Continental Army with her secret discovered only when she was wounded in battle.
Real question about both: women do not p** standing up so where did they find enough privacy in the field to go like a woman?
I was going to post about the same thing. I knew there was one if not more instances in the Revolution.
I had never thought of that. I guess they pretend to need to go crap and hunt a shielded area.
If I did not know Tom, who owns the site, I would question it. But he is always on target with his articles. Most of them are about western or Indian history. He is always critical of distorted views of Western US History. There was much of that during the period where Eastern reporters went out West and wrote for North Eastern readers fantastic (often made up) newspaper articles.
The Wild West was not that wild in general and life was pretty spartan, harsh and unforgiving.
On occasions Tom writes about Current events, when he does it ties his historic perspective with today’s reporting. I don’t read his site ever day, but look do go there often.
