About this person
Albert D. J. Cashier was an Irish-born American soldier who served in the Union Army during the American Civil War. Cashier became famous as one of at least 250 soldiers who were assigned female at birth and enlisted as men to fight in the Civil War. He adopted the identity of a man before enlisting, and maintained it until death. The consistent and nearly lifelong commitment to a male identity has prompted some historians to believe that Cashier was a trans man.
