About this ebook

Belle Boyd began her career as a spy and ended it as an actress. At least one historian concluded that she never lived at all, but the Confederate spy did exist. This essay, by former American Heritage editor Richard F. Snow, explores the life of one of the Civil War's most active secret agents.

ha.. she absolutely did exist. I am a direct decendant. my grandparents knew her and were told the real story.. she did shoot a soldier and she definitely was a spy. i have pictures of her, some with her own writing on them. not a real looker, but i was told she was very very funny and charming.
