Nellie Graves
Nellie Graves was a female soldier who served, in secret, in the Union Army during the American Civil War alongside her close friend Fanny Wilson. Both saw action at the Battle of Fredericksburg and then the Battle of Chancellorsville. Their genders were shortly discovered while they were being treated for an illness. Both were discharged and went there separate ways for the rest of the war. Wilson chose to reenlist in disguise again. There is some speculation as to whether Graves did the same, but if she had reenlisted, she was not discovered for a second time.
== Before the Civil War ==
Nellie Graves traveled with her friend, Fanny Wilson, to Lafayette, Indiana, in 1860 to visit Wilson's distant family members. During their stay, both women met and fell in love with two men, and exchanged letters with them for a year when the girls when back to New York. But as Civil War started brewing in 1861, Graves and Wilson received news from their lovers that stated their intention to enlist in the Union Army. In response, both women plotted to enlist in the same regiment as their loved ones but in different companies to avoid being caught. They soon found themselves, disguised as men, in the 24th New Jersey Infantry Regiment.〔''Women in the Civil War: Extraordinary Stories of Soldiers, Spies, Nurses, Doctors, Crusaders, and Others.'' p. 55 http://www.pritzkermilitary.org/explore/library/online-catalog/view/oclc/51580671.
