Princess Agnes of Salm-Salm (née Agnes Elisabeth Winona Leclerc Joy; 1844 – 1912) was an American memoirist and socialite. She authored a book of memoirs titled Ten Years of My Life. She was married to Prince Felix zu Salm-Salm, a Prussian mercenary beside whom she played a role in the American Civil War, the Mexican Civil War between President Benito Juárez and the Austrian archduke Maximilian I of Mexico, and the Franco-Prussian War. Agnes could not be apart from Felix for too long and eventually followed him to the battlefield. At his camp she would care for the sick and wounded soldiers although she had no previous knowledge of medicine. For four years she traveled with the troops through war-torn Virginia. As the wife of a colonel she had access to supply wagons and luggage meant for the officers and would often steal supplies in order to care for the soldiers. President Lincoln visited the Army of the Potomac on in early April, 1863. On April 7, he visited General Daniel Sickles and the Third Corps. Sickles was apparently struck by the sadness of the Chief Executive and sought a way to lift his gloom. Sickles claimed he asked some women if to “make him more cheerful” they perhaps could “form a line of ladies and each of you give him a kiss.” The only woman willing to plant the first kiss was Princess Salm-Salm, who worried that she was too short to reach the President’s face. Mrs. Lincoln was not happy when she was told about the kissathon by her tattle-tale son Tad. She blamed General Sickles, and was very cold when Sickles accompanied the family on a steamer back to Washington. President Lincoln, however, broke the ice by saying he had heard that Sickles, a notorious philander and admitted murderer, was very ‘pious” and “a great Psalmist". In response to Sickles’ denials, President Lincoln said: “Sickles, I have not only heard while in your camp that you are a Psalmist, but I have heard from the best authority that you are a Salm-Salmist.” In Largely Lincoln, there is a chapter specifically dedicated to the Princess Salm Salm, which describes the kissing incident.
