But in 1862, it was happening in September 1862, three Rode in Ozark, Alabama.
The young sergeant, entered the store main, called, "Dale Hardware, Sergeant put two dollars on the counter, Old Josh was in the shop to buy shovels Mr. Hightower
Yes Soldier, two dollar, "said the owner, and it was for a pair of shoes and a bottle of whiskey, a man came to the young soldier shaved it reasoning was funny, but could not put his finger on it, most soldiers were unshaven, unkempt, thin dough to watch, and it was not. Josh watched Blue had crossed the bar, and the Indian, they called Fox was outside looking through the window to its companion.
He approached the soldier, the sergeant looked over, then in the eyes, said:
"Go buy your shoes and whiskey, I'll find out in a minute, and he recoiled a moment, looked at the soldier from behind, looked out the window, some Confederate soldiers others walk, then looked at the Indian looking in.

The sergeant paid two dollars and Clayton said,
"Turn soldier!

And while most soldiers had white shirts, they were generally not white, but dirty white, was not. This shoulder was clearly not shabby, but he also knew the Confederates had in mind, is what makes fighting, not pay, they have rarely seen any, if not months before a payment has come, and they obtained a regular they were more fortunate. Then, the blue inappropriate, as Clayton and his family were in any case most of the time he seized the soldier in the crotch and pressed and pressed hard but could not hang on to something significant, and the soldier did not Scram. Then he knew, the appearance the soldier was not that of a male, but hidden from being a male sergeant was a woman. It was not just rare bizarre, and he said: "Come to the back of the store and know what you are between the legs of yours!"

She had a bottle of whiskey in one hand, and shoes in the other. And barely had – they came out of the store, Blue staggered into the street, and the sergeant said,
"Too much trouble in this town, let's hightail it out of there, back to our unit, and it looked like the Indian, has never said a word, just smiled. And Old Josh, paid for the shovel, and laughed all the way from the carriage where he waited for Mr. Hightower.
