THE CIVIL WAR: Spying on the Southern Home Front

0/5 ( ratings)

Imagine the Civil War underway today. Up-to-the-minute dispatches in daily newspapers. Real time dialog on social media. Cable television broadcasting live pictures from the fighting. It’s easy to become accustomed to getting our daily news and information quickly – with the tap on an app! Not so during the war years in the 19th century.Newspapers were the mass media of the time. They played a dominant, and some might say, monopolistic, role in forming public opinion. Editors chose sides and their opinions were liberally extolled on their pages, whether it was in how a story was presented, or whether the story got into in print at all. This volume is a collection of newspaper articles published during the time of the Civil War - April 12, 1861 to April 9, 1865. The stories are all about espionage – spying. You’ll read about spies from the South in the North and those from the North in the South. And, you’ll meet some daring people who were willing to give their lives for the cause they believed in. Among the dispatches are some very detailed accounts of executions.
