This volunteer in Michigan militia rode a horse along the shallow front line trenches, daring the Rebel fire, to distribute hot coffee and fresh bread to riflemen and cannoneers who had not been fed for hours, and tell wavering men, “Boys, now you’ve got the range. Keep it up and you'll soon silence their guns.”Distributed by King Features SyndicateIt was recorded that men were heartened or shamed to return to guns they had abandoned. Although she was wounded the second day at Chancellorsville, sho did not leave the ranks of the fighting men. An admiring Pennsylvanian wrote, She never flinched or betrayed the slightest emotion or fear.” This inspiring soldier was Anna Etheridge, who went away to war in 1861 as laundress for a company of the 2nd Michigan, and transferred to the 3rd Michigan as cook. Eventually, she succeeded in enlisting in the 5th Michigan as a regular soldier.Brig. Gen. Phil Kearny, moved by Anna’s fortitude and inspiring influence, recommended her for a sergeant’s rank, pay and rations just before he was killed in action at Chantilly. His successor, David Bell Bimey, fulfilled the promise. On May 13, 1863, in the presence of his entire command, Bimey made Anna the recipient of a new bronze medal he had devised for enlisted men who showed extraordinary valor, the Kearny Cross.Sgt. Etheridge continued in the Army of the Potomac until the war was over, ajid wras a veteran of a dozen battles when the Rebels surrendered at Appomattox. She was enabled to obtain a clerkship in Washington to support her aged father, and never exploited herself as a heroine.—CLARK KINNAIRDLeft: Imaginative portrait of Anna Etheridge in a book published in the 1870s for door-to-door sale, “Women’s Work in the Civil War, now a rarity.
