What did Emma Edmonds do after the war?</h3>
Emma and Linus moved to La Porte, Texas, after residing in a number of states in the United States. She was duly accepted as a full member of the Grand Army of the Republic, the veterans' organization for the Union army, there as a result of her discharge and veteran's pension. She is the only woman to have ever received such honor.
She endures several episodes of malarial attacks in a military hospital without disclosing her gender, almost passing out during one of them. She only fully recovers long enough to give up her male identity as Frank Thompson and seek medical attention in an Ohio hospital.
