The only woman ever awarded the Medal of Honor —- Dr. Mary Walker, American Civil War

During the outbreak of the US Civil War in 1861, Dr. Mary Walker abandoned her private practice in Rome, New York to volunteer with the US Army medical services. Though a trained and certified physician, she was at first only permitted to work as a nurse, often only on a volunteer basis with no pay. In 1863 due to exceptional performance and a greater demand for trained medical personnel, Walker was hired by the US Army as a civilian army surgeon, the first and only woman to be directly employed to such a position during the war.

Dr. Walker served with incredible distinction, making a reputation for herself among the soldiers. Her most defining characteristic was her willingness to brave any danger to treat her patients. Unlike most medical personnel of the age, Dr. Walker often treated soldiers directly on the battlefield, braving musket and cannon fire to rescue and triage wounded soldiers. Dr. Walker also would not hesitate to cross enemy lines if needed. Unfortunately on April 10th, 1864 her courage got the best of her when she was captured by the Confederates and arrested as a spy. Since she was a woman the Confederates chose not to hang her, the traditional fate of spies. Rather she was imprisoned as a POW until she was released as part of a prisoner exchange on August 12th, 1864.

Throughout the remainder of the war she served as a surgeon during the Atlanta campaign and Sherman’s march to the sea. After the war Gen. William T. Sherman and Gen. George Henry Thomas recommended her for the Medal of Honor, the highest military award in the country. President Andrew Johnson present her with the medal on November 11th, 1865.

After the war Dr. Mary Walker made a living as a writer and lecturer. She was an outspoken supporter of women’s rights, equality, feminism, and women’s suffrage. In 1917 the military reviewed the Medal of Honor rolls, determining that the award should be only exclusively granted as a military award. Her Medal of Honor, along with that of seven civilians who earned the award, was stripped from her and her name removed from the official registry of recipients. Regardless of the ruling by the military Walker continued to wear the medal until her death in 1917. She had earned the medal, and be damned the man who tried to take it away from her.

In 1977 President Jimmy Carter restored her status as a Medal of Honor recipient. She remains the only woman to ever win the award.

Gluten Free Double Chocolate Cheesecake

Fudgy Brownies for the crust:
1/3 cup chickpea flour (original recipe calls for yellow pea flour, never seen it)
2 tablespoons potato starch
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter
2 ounces unsweetened chocolate
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. and grease an 8x8 square pan.

Combine the dry ingredients in a small bowl, whisking to make sure all the flours aren’t clumpy.

In a large microwavable safe bowl, melt the butter and chocolate together until smooth and shiny. Add the vanilla extract and beat in the eggs one at a time until thoroughly combined. Dump in the dry ingredients and stir well to eliminate any lumps.

Spread in the prepared pan and let sit for 15-30 minutes. Bake the brownies for 20 to 25 minutes or until when a toothpick is inserted in the middle, a bit of crumb is sticking to it. Let cool completely, then crumble and set aside.

Cheesecake:
2 8 ounce packages cream cheese, softened
2/3 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons sorghum flour
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
1 cup plain yogurt or sour cream
8 ounces melted bittersweet chocolate, cooled

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. and lightly spray a 10-inch springform pan with cooking spray. Press the brownie crumbs in the bottom and up the sides of the pan and bake for 10 minutes. Set aside to cool.

Increase the oven temperature to 450 degrees F. In a large bowl using an electric mixer or handheld mixer, beat the cream cheese until very smooth. Slowly and the sugar and sorghum flour and beat until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each egg. Add the vanilla, salt and yogurt or sour cream, and finally, fold in the chocolate.

Pour the cheesecake mixture over the cooled brownie crust. Bake the cheesecake for 10 minutes in the hot oven and then reduce the temperature to 250 degrees F. and continue to bake for another 35 to 40 minutes or until the center is just set. Let cool at least 30 minutes before refrigerating at least 3 hours or up to 3 days.

Garnish as you’d like, and serve in thin slices with strong coffee. Yum :)
