A thrilling, cinematic saga of a Southern belle whose espionage for Abraham Lincoln and the Union helped win the Civil War. Wealthy Southern belle Elizabeth Van Lew had it all. Money, charm, wit--the biggest mansion in Richmond. So why risk everything to become the Civil War's most productive Union spy?The answer was simple: freedom. In this gripping history of a secret espionage genius, Gerri Willis reveals how Elizabeth built a flourishing spy network in the heart of the Confederate Capitol. Flouting society's expectations for women, Elizabeth infiltrated prisons, defied public opinion, and recruited an underground movement of freed slaves, secret Unionists, and brave captives.Putting her straitlaced Victorian past behind her, Elizabeth encountered vivid characters--assassins, socialites, escape artists, and cross-dressing spies. From grave robbery to a bold voyage across enemy lines, her escapades grew more and more daring. It paid off. Her agents were so well-placed that she had spies gathering information in both the Confederate War Department and the Richmond White House, and couriers providing General Ulysses S. Grant with crucial, daily intelligence for the war's final assault.Deeply researched and rich with detail, Lincoln's Lady Spymaster is a remarkable true story of courage, ingenuity, and resistance. Gerri Willis pulls back the curtain on one of the most fearless heroes of the Civil War, restoring her to her rightful place as an American icon.

I would like to take a few minutes to introduce myself and how I acquired these letters. My name is Steve Lawler and I am an avid history buff, antique picker and have been researching Civil War for 30 years. Myself and Neal (Mac) McBrayer were doing maintenance on our 12 lb Napoleon Cannon at Kelly Ranch near Alpine, AL. some 5 or 6 years ago. There was this trailer there and of course it caught my eye. I looked inside and it was full of boxes and books. I got to looking through the boxes and I found items from as far back as WW1. To make a long story short I was able to purchase the contents from Charles Kelly. As myself and Mac were going through the boxes and trunks, I came across these letters. I couldn't put them down. They were from Captain Kelly to his wife Amie. Nearly all the letters started with My Dear Amie hence the title of the letters. I couldn't bring myself to keep the letters. I gave them back to Charles and asked if I could take them with me and transcribe them. He agreed and a year and a half later I finally got done transcribing them. They are full of tragedies of war, humorous accounts and what Amie needed to do in keeping the farm up and running. If you are history buffs or needing to read the true account of the Civil War you will hear it from someone who lived through it day by day.
Rice Jones, the writer of the diary and of most of the letters contained in this volume was a young officer in the Royal Engineers when he was sent to Portugal in 1809. He remained until 1812, ending his peninsular experiences at Ciudad Rodrigo where he successfully lead the 52nd and 43rd regiments into one of the breaches. His other main experiences were the Battle of Bussaco, the building of the Lines of Torres Vedras, and the abortive siege of Badajoz in early 1811. Writing of Rice Jones's role at Ciudad Rodrigo, the editor remarks "Of this exploit, our diarist supplies the briefest and most modest narrative that was probably ever penned by a son to his father."Edited by Commander The Hon. Henry N. Shore, R.N., and first published in nine issues of the Royal Engineers Journal in 1912 and 1913. Much of the content consists of Shore providing general background to the author's experiences, comparisons with other accounts of some of the events, and summaries of diary entries that were, in his interest, not of professional interest. Charles Oman these documents in an appendix to Volume 5 of his History of the Peninsular War, "Notes on some points of controversy regarding the storm of Ciudad Rodrigo."Still another controversy, about which there is much in the Rice Jones papers, in the possession of Commander Harry Shore, R.N., is as to what engineer officers conducted the storming columns. Apparently some credit has been misplaced among individuals here, but to decide upon the point would take more space than a book like this can afford.The content from the nine issues of the Royal Engineers Journal are separated into chapters in this edition.
