I especially remember hir at the battle of Fredericksburg, where she displayed a good deal of bravery, dashing about in the thickest of tiM fljkt, carrying dispatches from commander to subordinates. I rsmember una fact that struck me as peculiar at the t me. Instead of the regulation army cap, she wore a little fancy cap ornamented with a squirrel'* tail. I remember it particularly, and was struck at the time with the peculiarity of this head gear, aad wondered that ono exposed to so many dangers would be willing or would be permitted to wear such an attractive article of dress. I can under»tand now, however, knowing what I did not then, that Frank Thompson was a woman, why it was that he wore such a cap." "Do you think her sex was ever suspected!" the general was asked. "Yes, it was," be answered, though in such a very indefinite way that 'very little was thought about it. I remember'one day that Frank came riding along where a number of as were in conversation, and after stopping for a little chat passed on.. After hs had gotten out of hearing one of tho men said to me, 'Did youever observe anything peculiar about that boyf I raid no, except that he was a very delicate looking person for such arduous duty. To this he replied, 'I believe that Frank Thompson is a woman, and I am not the only one that believes it' The remark madT little impression on me at the time, but it now turns out to have been the truth." throe Tribes Advanoing to Cap.
