Two Russian princesses

Although one of Grant's granddaughters, Julia, grew up to become a Russian princess, and does appear as a minor character in my new novel, she is not the subject of this post.
No, the lady pictured is Nadine Turchin, or Princess Nadezhda L'vova, whom I hadn't planned on writing about, but who wound up pretty much taking over Chapter 15. She, like her husband John Turchin, was a Russian immigrant to the United States. Contrary to all regulations, she went with him into the field when he became a Union general during the Civil War, and even issued orders on occasion to his troops.
You can read more about the lady in this post by Maggie MacLean from the Civil War Women blog.
