New York Folklore Quarterly: Volume XVII, No. 1

"It was easier for Louisa Wellman to discard dresses for trousers and enlist in an Iowa regiment. She had only to appropriate some of her brother’s clothes for her disguise. The hardship of her adjustment was aggravated by the slang and profanity of the soldiers, but the strain was eased somewhat by association with the soberer and more pious of the regiment—a group that afterwards bcame know as 'the praying squad.' Her tender attentions to sick comrades earned her the sobriquet 'Doctor Ned.'" (from "Women in Blue and Gray" by Charles A. Huguenin)

The New York Folklore Quarterly was published 1946-1974. Back issues are still available.
