Also known as Bridget Deavers and Bridget Devins, and "Irish Biddy" to Sheridan's men, Bridget Divers was an Irish immigrant who rode with the First Michigan Cavalry during the American Civil War.[1][2][3] The Civil WarDivers was known for the level of care and concern she felt for soldiers in her regiment,[4] for rallying the troops, and for having excellent horsemanship skills and enthusiasm.[1] Divers was reportedly concerned with the moral and spiritual nature of her fellow troops and acted as their chaplain, receiving books and supplies from the Christian Commission.[2] Divers acted in many capacities for her regiment, including as vivandière, nurse, hospital steward, and ward master; these duties gave her an extensive knowledge of the men serving in the regiment.[2] Divers also often participated in combat. According to Mary Livermore, "Sometimes when a soldier fell she took his place, fighting in his stead with unquailing courage. Sometimes she rallied retreating troops- sometimes she brought off the wounded from the field- always fearless and daring, always doing good service as a soldier."[3] One of Divers's most famous moments of service occurred at the Battle of Fair Oaks, Virginia, in June 1862. Surprised by a Confederate attack, Divers was able to rally the troops to retaliate, successfully driving the Confederates back.[5] Divers served essentially as a substitute soldier when her work was needed.[6] Post-war lifeDivers reportedly stayed in the army after the Civil War to defend the Western frontier of the United States, potentially with her husband, though other accounts say he died in battle.[7][1][8][5] References1. ^1 2 {{cite book|last=Tsui|first=Bonnie|title=She Went to the Field: Women Soldiers of the Civil War|location=Guilford|publisher=TwoDot|date=2006|isbn=9780762743841|page=84}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Divers, Bridget}}2. ^1 2 {{cite web|url=http://www.civilwar.com/people/21-union-women/148420-mrs-bridget-irish-biddy-divers-deavers-.html|title=Mrs Bridget "Irish Biddy" Divers (Deavers)|website=Civil War|language=en|access-date=2017-02-25}} 3. ^1 {{cite web|url=https://irishamericancivilwar.com/2012/08/16/bridget-diver-custers-female-wolverine/|title=Bridget Diver: Custer’s Female Wolverine|website=Irish in the American Civil War|language=en|access-date=2017-02-25}} 4. ^{{cite book|last=Leonard|first=Elizabeth D.|title=All the Daring of the Soldier: Women of the Civil War Armies|location=New York|publisher=W.W.Norton and Company|page=121|isbn=0393047121}} 5. ^1 {{cite web|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=X2GeBUmW_MgC&pg=PA214&lpg=PA214&dq=bridget+divers+civil+war&source=bl&ots=sGqb17TFtl&sig=Zs15fUY-4Ty3YMdVVOnyusYanOo&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiWpuGGt6zSAhXs5YMKHU0GDTQQ6AEIYzAO#v=onepage&q=bridget%20divers%20civil%20war&f=false|title=Women in the American Civil War, Volume 1|website=Google Books|language=en|access-date=2017-02-25}} 6. ^{{cite book|last=Leonard|first=Elizabeth D.|title=All the Daring of the Soldier: Women of the Civil War Armies|location=New York|publisher=W.W.Norton and Company|page=124|isbn=0393047121}} 7. ^{{cite book|last=Leonard|first=Elizabeth D.|title=All the Daring of the Soldier: Women of the Civil War Armies|location=New York|publisher=W.W.Norton and Company|page=123|isbn=0393047121}} 8. ^{{cite book|last=Leonard|first=Elizabeth D.|title=All the Daring of the Soldier: Women of the Civil War Armies|location=New York|publisher=W.W.Norton and Company|page=125|isbn=0393047121}} 4 : Female nurses in the American Civil War|Women in the American Civil War|Women soldiers|American Civil War nurses |
