Sallie was given to the men of the 11th Pennsylvania Infantry as a gift in a basket. She soon became one of the soldiers, standing under their colors, or flag, in battle. Sallie fought in many of the well-known battles of the Civil War and even met President Lincoln, who saluted her with a raise of his hat.
