Editorial Reviews

Product Description

First published in 1865, Belle Boyd's memoir of her experiences as a Confederate spy has stood the test of time. Belle first gained notoriety when she killed a Union soldier in her home in 1861. During the Federal occupations of the Shenandoah Valley, she mingled with the servicemen and, using her feminine wiles, obtained useful information for the Rebel cause. In this new edition, Sharon Kennedy-Nolle and Drew Gilpin Faust consider the domestic side of the Civil War and assess the value of Boyd's memoir for social and literary historians .

By A Customer
This review is from: Belle Boyd in Camp and Prison (American Biography Series) (Library Binding)
I thought that this book was wonderful, it's content was direct and to the point while still telling a wonderful story of this woman's struggles of keeping secrect among the Union soldiers. I love this story and I would recomend it to anyone that has an inerest in the Civil War.
