Army, served during the Civil War and "She devoted herself with much patriotic zeal to the sick and wounded, both in the field and hospitals."  In 1864, she was captured by the Confederates while crossing enemy lines to provide medical care to soldiers and civilians.  She spent four months as a prisoner of war. In 1865, she became the first and only woman ever to receive the Medal of Honor.
