An introduction to previously unknown Confederate Spies, many of whom were old men, young men, pretty women, older ladies. Black men, white men, many were young boys (the youngest being nine years old). They were of the Jewish faith and of the Christian faith. They were many foreigners too, a French lady from Santo Domingo, a beautiful Irish aristocratic lady, a young British adventurer. And finally there were a few British mercenaries, a real French prince and so on and so forth.
Many were recruited because they would not normally attract much attention. Researchers are shocked at how successful these Confederate spies were. They somehow managed to provide the Confederate Army with accurate information on where the invading union armies were.
While the Confederacy was still in its infancy, the "wild Rose" Rose Greenhow, had set up an all female (all beautiful ladies) spy network in Washington, DC.
The following are a number of previously unknown spies and their stories, I have managed to discover. I believe their sacrifices should be appreciated and their memories preserved for future generations.
