Cornelia Hancock did not meet the government’s requirements for female nurses—and yet she served on the frontlines of the Civil War for nearly two years. Though 150 years have passed, personal stories of the Civil War continue to fascinate, and Cornelia provided a unique look behind the scenes. Georgiann Baldino's living history program is based on the letters Cornelia wrote during and after the Civil War. Cornelia Hancock’s adventures would make an amazing legend—except in her case the heart-rending ordeals were true.
