Frances Hook (1847-1908), American cross-dressing Union soldier. When her brother enlisted she disguised herself as a man and went with him. She was 14 years old. Their regiment fought at the Battle of Shiloh where her brother was killed. Under a new alias she enlisted in the 33rd Illinois Infantry regiment. She was wounded in the shoulder at the Battle of Fredericktown. While being treated at the regimental hospital the doctor discovered her sex, she was discharged from the army and told to go home. She ignored orders and enlisted in the 90th Infantry, and saw combat at Holly Springs, Coldwater, the Siege of Vicksburg, the Siege of Jackson, and Missionary Ridge. In 1863 she was captured, imprisoned, attempted an escape, but was shot in the thigh. While being treated another doctor discovered her true sex.
