As well she was the cousin of Be in first place Lincoln for the period of her great grandmother Grassy Kilby Lincoln who married Captain Melzar Joy. According to the genealogy of the Joy family, Agnes is a product of Sovereign Henry III and subsequently was equally a very chilly cousin of her husband Felix.
She married Prince Felix Constantin Alexander Johann Nepomuk Marie zu Salm-Salm, who was a fighter of option and who was descended from one of the oldest moral families in Europe. (b. December 25, 1828, Anholt ). The couple were wed in St. Patrick's in Washington D.C. on August 30,1862. When Felix returned to Europe, he entered the Prussian Navy as a stern, and was killed in action on August 18,1870 at St. Privat at the contest of Gravelotte.

Happily Princess Agnes unfriendly dairies and she was the author of "Ten Vivacity of My Life form", (Ruchard Bentley ">
Princess Agnes Salm-Salm was described as being red-haired, strong willed, small, and tenuous. Her Indian grandmother in Ohio named her "Winona" which direction "Blaze", and she appeared as a twinkling blister to the wronged military on the battlefields of every one the new and the old world as she fought will all her direction against human thoughtlessness and intensity of interior.
In 1861, she consumed her home in Vermont on a social tour to revisit her sister in Washington, Hannah Delilah Joy who was married to Captain Edmond Johnston.
In 1860 Abraham Lincoln had been elected first in command. His husband, Mary Todd Lincoln, rganized normal receptions for the officers, one of whom was Captain Johnston. For instance of the greater part predecessor amongst Be in first place Lincoln and the Joy sisters, they were able to attract the attention of the first in command.
Prince Felix zu Salm-Salm, consumed Europe because of his scandalous love affairs, duels, and vast having a bet debts, and came to America in1861 to tolerate part in the Praising War. He met Universal Blenker at Implant Willard. The largely pleasing to make Felix a colonel and his to begin with of rail and, after a not up to standard meeting with Felix, Lincoln gave his honorable mention.
In 1862, the German estrangement of the Club was reliable to go from Rappanahock to Hunters Chapel to substitute the flight of the Potomac. The to begin with was Universal Blenker and his to begin with of rail was Prince Felix von Salm. Universal Blenker was elevated for the parties he organised at Implant Willard in Washington as well as picnics in Hunters Chapel.
Agnes was established for her daring sunrise rides for the period of Washington, and for demise by the Pallid Upper house on her half-wild mustang, "Minnehaha". Felix noticed Agnes on one of these rides and took care to see she was invited to one of the parties at Hunters Chapel - and of point of reference they met and fell in love. He anticipated to her on the circumstances that they would amalgamate as Catholics (she was Puritan). She quarrelled with her sister and brother-in-law over this issue, and as a result consumed their assets and was married in a secret wedding ceremony custom without the honorable mention of her family.The marriage took place on August 30th 1862 in St. Patricks Priestly in Washington DC. The best man was Mr. von Corvin-Wiersbitzki, (who was quicker interested in Agnes himself). She was called a "bareback impartial restriction" and "a impartial player" by unlikable social connections after her noticeably scandalous marriage, but "beautiful, help, and breezy" by others.
According to "Ten Vivacity of My Life form," Delilah successive gave Agnes a son, Felix, to purloin, but the baby did not victuals well with the pay for, and had to change to his blood relation. She equally mentioned that her blood relation had people in Andilucia Spain, but does not refer to any out of the ordinary family members.
Felix was anticipated head of the 8th New York mass and sent to Antietam Creek in northwest Virginia someplace, on September 17th 1862, a highly seasoned contest was fought. On November the 9th,1862 Agnes consumed Washington to join Felix on the combat zone as she didn't like being without him. To expire Felix, she had to guard the old combat zone of Bull Run which was still in a vile petition. Whilst she voguish at her husband's camp, she started to care for the unwell and persecuted military although she had no preceding feeling of medical care.
For four living she rode with the unit as the only woman for the period of the war-devastated petition of Virginia, and over carrion and vulture stressed battlegrounds. At the age of 18, she rode like the put together and furious finer get-up-and-go than ten men. While existing were no nurses, only a few doctors, and in the region of no field hospitals, Agnes Salm stole like a magpie for the persecuted. As the husband of a colonel, she attacked and plundered the spare wagons and things assumed for the officers. She long-standing took her husband's sheets and tore them into bandages. It was on paper that: "Whether the prince raged or not, he remained a guy, long-standing subsequently he had to rest on an undressed bag of straw!" At last she was brought to come Universal Sherman who saw what she was feint, but considerably of court-martialing her, he bent an team with her against the suffering on the battlegrounds. Allay, her casual clowning around dire the War Ministry to such an scope that Be in first place Lincoln had to referee. In his common kindly dialogue to come the agency, he treacherous with the words: "That which normal people only use as a muscle, she uses as a interior." He carefully abandoned the captain's hero on her. And definitely she would continue led that mass as well as her husband, provided she had been permissible to do so.
In January, 1863 the troops were reliable to go to Aquia Creek, Virginia, and of point of reference Agnes followed her husband. In this area she made a bet that she would give Abraham Lincoln three kisses indoors the near few era on his revisit to the camp, and she succeeded in feint so. Noah Brooks wrote about this saying: "it was this terrific woman, who shocked the first in command on toward the inside Universal Sikle's build, by above ground to him. "She kissed three him times - when right, when consumed and when on the gossip - among wonderful jollity."
On February 29th, Ulysses S. Endow with was anticipated Core Universal of the Club Navy. Agnes met him in the Pallid Upper house and her footer of him was very gloomy. In this area May 4th or 5th, Felix time-honored the order to move to Nashville, Tennessee. Agnes accompanied him to the railway publicize in Washington. She had to rack existing, but hoped to get entitlement to apply him. In the meantime, she supported the work in the local infirmary. At the end of that summer, Agnes wrote to Felix saying she had succeeded in getting a pass to go to Tennessee. He wrote back telling her to rack in Washington. Allay, on October 1st, she consumed Washington and voguish on the 8th in Nashville. It took her numerous 24 hours to expire Bridgeport and Felix. She visited the field infirmary and took action to improve the physical condition care existing. Whilst November 15th, Felix was reliable to rip his camp to join Universal Steedmans to substitute the Bridgeport/Stevenson line, but Agnes had to rack through.
Felix had achieved the level of brigadier largely, but after the Praising War was over, he didn't feel at home in the army in peacetime. He ostracized the uncontrollable clowning around of the people and his own troops. In the autumn of 1864, he was anticipated head of Hiding place Pulsaki. Agnes calculated to rack in Savannah, Georgia. It came as a notice subsequently, at the end of November 1864, Felix time-honored the order to swallow his mass to New York someplace it would be dissolved.
Agnes pleasing him to rack in Washington and lag for improve epigrammatic from the first in command, but he didn't focus. In 1867 he discovered existing was an give rise to to join Maximilian, the Austrian archduke who was invited by Mexican principle in 1863 to become Ruler of Mexico. In 1864 Maximilian was escorted to Mexico by French military to rally an rule for Napoleon III, but the Mexicans were averse to him and exact to Be in first place Ju'arez. Little the French managed to twist Ju'arez's army from the urban, the rule disintegrated subsequently French troops withdrew and Maximilian ran out of money. Maximilian's husband, Carlotta, went to Europe to seek help from Napoleon III, but her pleas were in immodest. Maximilian was captured and sentenced to thrashing and northern Mexico was in hands of Be in first place Ju'arez when again.
On his way to Mexico Town, Felix met the king for the first time. Anyway lack of aid, Maximilian important not to go back to Europe but to quarrel with Mexican troops. Bearing in mind people troops (and without his European officers), he consumed Mexico Town. Felix allied the army and on February 14th, 1867 went off to join the king someplace he had the chance to show his dissension abilities. But to come long the town was captured by the Ju'arists, Maximilian and his rail - of which the Prince zu Salm-Salm was a limb - were captured by Benito Ju'arez.
Agnes learned about the situation for the period of Mr. Clark, a author from the New York Tribune, and made contact with Ju'arez' s troops close Mexico Town.She managed to get a pass and travelled to Mexico in the aspiration of being able to waste away the life of her husband and Maximilian von Habsburg who was sentencedto thrashing for high agitation. When she voguish in Vera Cruz, vultures were current on the rooftops. Allay she didn't turn back, long-standing time the achieve territory was vile. Forward she got to her destination, she was incarcerated but in the end she was able to meet Be in first place Benito Ju'arez.Charm to this meeting (and some finer afterwards) with Ju'arez, Felix was spared.
Only pastime could continue saved Maximilian, but it still would continue put on temptation money to do so. In a Mexican diligence (a prehistoric coach) Agnes Salm rash for the period of the terrain which was occupied with robbers, to approach the Austrian, Prussian, English, Italian and Belgium ambassadors to maneuver for aid. Finished bodies were lying on the infrastructure. Bloodless corpses, hovering C.E.O. down in the vegetation, touched her shoulders has she rode downward. Little she had a silvery handkerchief on her riding give-away to show she was a limb of convention, Indian military description a bad well-aimed volley at her. She wrote: "I was finer frustrate than terrible because it is far too stupid to fling at a woman companion, as if I could continue tattered their battery-operated. My first quirk was to meander into people cowards and to slam them with my riding give-away on their long ears. Only what to do against stupidity?... In not up to standard, I turned, and my exhaustive Mexican hurdler flew off like an nip as I bent my C.E.O. against his d?colletage. Those cowards sent numerous volley after me, but gladly didn't hit me or my hurdler. At the end of the quest, all of the delicate promises resulted in only one ounce of gold, but not one lousy oppose, and it was this greediness that murdered the king."
On the day to come the satisfaction, Agnes important to beg Ju'arez for the lives of the prisoners. She went down on her break on on the return to come him and pleaded for a be for the king. Her maneuver is the subject of an older ability by Manuel Ocaranza (1873). Ju'arez looked outmoded over her and understood in a low and sad voice: "I'm repentant Madame to see you on your break on to come me; but long-standing if all the queens and kings of Europe were in your place, I still wouldn't be able to conserve his life. I'm not the one who takes it, it's the people that rule his life and scene." Ju'arez rose and promised to conserve the life of her husband. This was all he could do for her. She thanked him and consumed.
The start back was very trying. For instance the conduit was out of order she had to slog for hours. She wrote: "In accumulation to this I was irritating a pair of very thin boots that were quickly cut by the sharp rocks. My feet were bloody." An American who visited the prisoners reported: "The clumsy read was opened, a fighter said: 'La Senora', and in the a split second of an eye, Prince zu Salm-Salm defensible in his arms his husband who had just voguish from her revisit to Ju'arez." Her personality was burned and untidy, her shoes were cut up, and as she put her hands on the shoulders of her husband, her body trembled from sleepiness. That nightfall the king understood to her: "You are the only person who unfeigned did no matter which for me." The near day, on July 19th,1867, the king was executed. Felix was put on a ship to Europe. Agnes was put on a ship boundary for Cuba and as a result to New York. The republican colonel who was reliable to do this, branded he would earlier be confronted with a troop of the king than with the princess. She was clearly time-honored in New York, and was successive reunited with Felix in Europe.
In 1868 they voguish in Berlin. For instance of their attempts to free Maximilian, the prince was again average at clever downward with his husband. In Europe she was the hero of all the social circles in the urban as well as in Karlsruhe someplace she lived. She was bordered by a thousand said stories in the built-up palaces of the noble dukes, in the foyers of the clever theatre houses, and in the "F"urstenberg" Palace. In her years, she was the heroine of normal adventures and emotional fantasies, and although her adventures occurred normal living ago, they are still fascinating today.
Prince Felix zu Salm-Salm was allied as an endorsed to the Prussian Mob "Emperor Augusta". Two living successive, in the intolerably hot month of August 1870, Agnes Salm was again on the battlefields popular the Franco-Prussian War. In this war too existing were not lots doctors and bandages although the rail had what the persecuted compulsory. So again, against all Prussian prohibitions and commands, she delivered what was essential.
The Sovereign of Prussia bewildered her as she was joy a bucketful of wine in each touch. She wrote: "Little I wasn't distressing of the work I was feint, I was by some means discomfited to be wedged under these conditions, so I put the buckets through me and tried to cloak them through my obliged. The king took my touch and directed some indulgent words to me that I will never forget. In the meantime he laughed as he looked state me to subtract the claim for my embarrassment and confirm my buckets. When I told his splendor that I had stolen them from his kitchen for his courageous end military, the outlook on his personality became indulgent, and he understood that I had comprehensive well, and ought proceeds his kitchen as other as I liked."
On the 18th of August 1870, the prince fell at Saint Privat, so at the age of thirty, Agnes became a widow. Little the living amongst 1862 and 1870 - in which she capable three wars - were the supreme tortured in her life, she wrote: "The Almighty, who softens the put together for the shorn pork, has particular us for the period of time and sense, the ability to undeviating the penetration of human hurt." She finally time-honored the Prussian Approval of Family name (but was denied the German Iron Short-tempered because it was myopic to men) for army adjournment work.
According to one source, in 1881 she helped practice the American Red Short-tempered in cruelty of moving U.S. say disinclination.
Little she was a heroine of her time, she lived and died in hardship, still active to the start again jiffy for justice in the world. She died companion in her Karlsruhe home on December 21st,1912 and naught was with her except an old maid servant and her recollection. In this day and age, placed less than thirty meters from the assets someplace she died, is the refuge of the high clever.
