Answer:
It's a fallacy that the camp followers of Union General Joseph Hooker gave us the popular euphemism for a prostitute. It's true they were called "Hooker's division," or "Hooker's reserves," but the word predates the American Civil War as, of course, does the profession. It first appeared in 1845 as a reference to an area of New York known as "the Hook," where ladies of the evening could be found in abundance.
