I'd come across mentions of Hannah Snell as well, but not read the book. *downloads from Gutenberg*

What I'd really like is memoirs or letters by any of the women who were involved in the '45, for example Isobel Haldane, Margaret Ogilvy, or Anne Mackintosh. Margaret Ogilvy especially! I mean, she followed her husband in the war, was captured, then escaped from Edinburgh Castle and crossdressed as a man while traveling through England to France. At one point she was suspected of being BPC, and had to prove herself a woman. But sadly I suspect no such memoirs exist. : (

Interesting with the detective work around the Garvin book!
