Book excerpt: Excerpt from Unsexed or the Female Soldier, the Thrilling Adventures, Experiences and Escapes of a Woman, as Nurse, Spy and Scout, in Hospitals, Camps and Battle-Fields No Apology is necessary for adding one more to the numerous "War Books" which already fill a large space in American Literature; for, to the general reader, nothing connected with the Rebellion can be more interesting than the personal experiences of those who have been intimately associated with the different phases of military life, in Camp, Field, and Hospital. The "Nurse and Spy" is simply a record of events which nave transpired in the experience and under the observation of one who has been on the field and participated in numerous battles - among which are the first and second Bull Run, Williamsburg, Fair Oaks, the Seven days in front of Richmond, Antietam, and Fredericksburg - serving in the capacity of "Spy" and as "Field Nurse" for over two years. While in the "Secret Service" as a "Spy," which is one of the most hazardous positions in the army - she penetrated the enemy's lines, in various disguises, no less than eleven times; always with complete success and without detection. Her efficient labors in the different Hospitals as well as her arduous duties as "Field Nurse," embrace many thrilling and touching incidents, which are here most graphically described.
