Avery: Civil War Journal

My favorite is not a very popular and famous person.  Her name was Kate Warn.  Kate Warn was America's first female private investigator for the Union.  She was born in New York, but no one knows the date she was born on.  She died on New Years Day 1866 of pneumonia.  She dressed up as a man, changed her accent and called herself Allen Pinkerton.  She was a huge success with her job and she enjoyed doing it too.  I chose her because she was the first female to join the union.  She was a very brave, strong smart woman.  She enjoyed her life in the war and made a good time out of it. She worked hard and also did a lot. She was known for saving the life of a man. That man would be Abraham Lincoln, one of our greatest presidents! I was not able to find out her opinion, but since she works for the union I guess she was against it.
