Description
This book tells the true stories of remarkable women who served during the War between the states. This keepsake book is beautifully illustrated with pictures of Southern plantations. Hundreds of women fought disguised as male soldiers. They most often went undetected, but if their gender was discovered, the consequences could be dire. What drew women to the spy game which was fought with danger and possible death if clandestine efforts were uncovered? Belle Boyd and Rose Greenhow are the show more best-known spies whose harrowing stories are told in these pages. Nurses played a vital role in both armies - Dorthea Dix, Clara Baron, and Dr. Mary Walker snap to life in this amazing book. show lessTags
