Interesting article in a recent issue of Confederate Veteran
on Sally Louisa Tompkins of Virginia. She received a Commission as Captain, Cavalry, Unassigned. Confederate States Army.
She is the first known female in the world to hold a military commission. Not even Joan of Arc held a military commission.

Need complete listing of patients at Robertson Hospital during civil war from Museum of The Confederacy. Please advise by calling 931-474-8424. Thank you.

Sally's uncle was my five generation great grandfather. I like knowing about her. Ann Tompkins Barnes

It was an interesting article including a full page photo of her, did you get a chance to see it?

How can I get a copy? I can't find copies of the Confederate Veteran anywhere.

Anyone interested in a biography of Captain Sally, contact me at meinaz@aol.com
I have a complete bio of her and others in her life. Self-published. I have all copies. Contact meinaz@aol.com
Be glad to sell copies to anyone interested in Civil War, Captain Sally, etc.
