(Story and Photos by Ruben Gusman/Michelle Martin)

On a brisk but sunny early Sunday morning, both Union and Confederate camps found themselves visited by an unknown and armed female rider. Witness's later identified the Femme Fatale as none other than the "Mischievous Michelle Martin".
Sources have spotted Michelle encamped
with both Confederate and Union Forces and
are unsure about where her true sympathies lay.
Some say she is a spy while other swear she is a
true Southern Sweetheart sympathizer. Decked
out in one of her finest Sunday dresses, Michelle's romp around the two
camps seemed to have a secret mission. Appearing intially to be an
innocent and relaxing easy stroll around the site with her
favorite stead "Majic", we decided to follow this
rider to see what she was really up to.

Pictured above and below, the now infamous: Ms. Michelle Martin aka: "The Foxy Federal Field Nurse" ,"The Powder Monkey Princess", and many other alias's  too lengthy to mention here.

It wasn't long before Michelle's mission was revealed. Sporting her new double barreled Deringer, Michelle was just itching to show off her piece to some of her more rowdy companions. All in all just some harmless fun and perhaps another effort to make headlines for a rather mundane reenactment weekend. Whatever the case may be we will be keeping our eyes on this one, "Mischievous Michelle" as she is always up to something!
