Elizabeth Van Lew: A Union Spy (part 1) (ep. 8.6)
Podcast: Her Half of HistoryPublished On: Thu Sep 29 2022
Description: We have now arrived at the woman who inspired this whole series on spies! Because Elizabeth Van Lew is one of my absolute favorites, and her story is so good that I simply cannot squeeze it into only one episode. Elizabeth Van Lews was a daughter of the Old South, but also an ardent abolitionist. In this episode we take her from debutante to undercover agent in Richmond, Virginia.
