From 1861 to 1864 Hook served in five Illinois infantry or cavalry regiments, one Tennessee cavalry regiment, and one Michigan infantry regiment. She was wounded in the shoulder at the Battle of Murfreesboro/Stones River, Tennessee, (Dec. 26-31, 1862) whereupon her sex was discovered and she was mustered out. But she re-enlisted several times after that, and was wounded again early in 1864 and taken prisoner. While in a prison in Atlanta she was once again exposed, and was exchanged on Feb. 17, 1864. She was then hospitalized in Tennessee, and finally discharged in June 1864. (Her full story is reported in Women on the Civil War Battlefront by Richard Hall, University Press of Kansas, May 2006.)
