Emma Edmonds cut off her hair and assumed the identity of a man to enlist as a Union private, witnessing the bloodiest battles of the Civil War. The beautiful widow, Rose O'Neale Greenhow, engaged in affairs with powerful Northern politicians to gather intelligence for the Confederacy, and used her young daughter to send information to Southern generals. Elizabeth Van Lew, a wealthy Richmond abolitionist, hid behind her proper Southern manners as she orchestrated a far-reaching espionage ring, right under the noses of suspicious rebel detectives. Using a wealth of primary source material and interviews with the spies' descendants, Abbott weaves the adventures of these four heroines throughout the tumultuous years of the war. With a cast of real-life characters including Walt Whitman, Nathaniel Hawthorne, General Stonewall Jackson, detective Allan Pinkerton, Abraham and Mary Todd Lincoln, and Emperor Napoleon III, Liar, Temptress, Soldier, Spy draws you into the war as these daring women lived it. 600 10 $a Bowser, Mary Elizabeth, $d approximately 1840- 600 10 $a Boyd, Belle, $d 1844-1900. 600 10 $a Greenhow, Rose O'Neal, $d 1814-1864. 600 10 $a Van Lew, Elizabeth L., $d 1818-1900. 650 0 $a Women spies $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Women spies $z Confederate States of America $v Biography. 651 0 $a United States $x Participation, Female. $y Civil War, 1861-1865 $x Participation, Female. 651 0 $a United States $x Secret service. $y Civil War, 1861-1865 $x Secret service. 651 0 $a United States $x Women. $y Civil War, 1861-1865 $x Women. 651 0 $a United States $x History $y Civil War, 1861-1865 $v Biography. 600 11 $a Greenhow, Rose O'Neal, $d 1814-1864. 650 7 $a HISTORY $z United States $x Civil War Period (1850-1877) $2 bisacsh 600 17 $a Bowser, Mary Elizabeth, $d approximately 1840- $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01809229 600 17 $a Boyd, Belle, $d 1844-1900 $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00109067 600 17 $a Greenhow, Rose O'Neal, $d 1814-1864 $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00159591 600 17 $a Van Lew, Elizabeth L., $d 1818-1900 $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00194007 650 7 $a Military participation $x Female. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01353719 650 7 $a Secret service. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01110661 650 7 $a Women. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01176568 650 7 $a Women spies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01178571 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 651 7 $a United States $z Confederate States of America. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01205435 650 7 $a Amerikanska inboÌrdeskriget 1861-1865. $2 sao 650 7 $a UnderraÌttelseverksamhet. $2 sao 650 7 $a Spionage. $2 sao 650 7 $a Kvinnliga spioner. $2 sao 600 17 $d 1818-1900. $2 sears 600 17 $2 sears 650 7 $v Biography. $2 sears 650 7 $2 sears 651 7 $x Women. $2 sears 651 7 $2 sears 648 7 $a 1861 - 1865 $2 fast 655 4 $a Nonfiction. 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919896 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft 941 $a 1 $n 1 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20210601112350.0 $n 5 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=2C8C742EAC3311EB98A411E3203FDB2A 994 $a C0 $b IOZInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
