Elizabeth Van Lew: A Union Spy (part 2) (ep. 8.7)
Podcast: Her Half of HistoryPublished On: Thu Oct 06 2022
Description: Last week we got Elizabeth to the point of working directly for the Union army from inside Richmond. This week, she and the other Unionists aid a great prison breakout, give a fallen Union colonel a hero's funeral, and survive to see the Union army enter the capital of the Confederacy. With the war over, she takes a job that has rarely gone to a woman up until this point, but also faces the enmity of her Southern neighbors for the rest of her long life.
