In 1864 Sarah contracted malaria, and fearing her exposure as a woman, deserted. After she was cured, she served the Union army again as a female nurse in a Washington DC hospital. After the war, Sarah wrote of her adventures in a book titled Nurse and Spy in the Union Army under the pen name S.E. Edmonds in 1865. The book was hugely popular, but caused the government to cancel her pension on grounds of desertion.
