Deception & Spycraft: Military Intelligence In The Civil War
Spy Seminar Series Civil War Spies: A Three-Part Exploration of Union and Confederate Intelligence Operations
Tuesday, 21 June, 2011 7-9 pm
The North and the South both had their share of intelligence successes (and failures); neither the Blue nor the Gray were strangers to intrigue and espionage. Society ladies carried secret messages, runaway slaves re-crossed the Mason-Dixon Line as undercover agents, and couriers worked covert operations in the life or death climate of wartime. In this series, a distinguished group of historians and espionage experts will introduce you to some of the most amazing spies and spy cases of the conflict.
Deception and Spycraft: Military Intelligence in the Civil War at the International Spy Museum – Tuesday, 21 June - Join International Spy Museum historian Mark Stout; Professor William B. Feis, of Buena Vista University, author of Grant’s Secret Service: The Intelligence War from Belmont to Appomattox; and James A. Davis, Professor of Musicology at State University of New York—Fredonia, for a fascinating discussion of intelligence in America’s bloodiest war.
