Charlotte Hatfield
Charlotte Hatfield, also known as Charley Hatfield or "Mountain Charley", was a female soldier for the Union Army during the American Civil War.
== Early life ==
The real last name of Charlotte is unknown, although according to a few sources her true name was Elsa Jane Guerin. The name she used to enlist in the Union Army was Charley Hatfield. She was born in a rural Iowa town in 1840. In 1858, her mother died when Charlotte was 18 years old. Her step-father treated Charlotte as a hired hand.〔 When she was only 19 years old, she eloped, but her husband spent most of his time away from Charlotte, due to gambling habits. After giving birth to a stillborn baby, Charlotte's husband beat her severely and left her. She later heard that her husband left her to be with another woman. She subsequently vowed revenge on both her husband and his mistress.
To get her revenge, Charlotte decided to travel West with her mule to find her husband. During her trip, she successfully disguised herself as a man in order to avoid the problems of a woman traveling alone.〔 Along the way, she met an old friend named George West who was partaking in the hunt for gold at Pikes Peak. In each town she visited, she was able to gather information to track down her husband and his mistress. Finally, after arriving in Colorado, she faced the two of them and exacted her revenge, though the details of their encounter are unclear.
Charlotte shared her story with George West, asking him to swear that he would not share it for 25 years.
