Copyright Scott W. Schwartz, Marten Stromberg and 2013 King Elementary School Students, 2013 Charge! The Story Behind A Woman’s Revenge A Woman’s Revenge was developed by the fifth grade students of Martin Luther King Elementary School during the 2013 spring semester as part of the America’s Civil War through Music sessions developed by Scott Schwartz and Marten Stromberg. The students’ spy song was loosely based on the lives of two Civil War spies, Belle Boyd (1844 – 1900) who served as a Confederate spy and Sarah Emma Edmonds (1841-1898) who served as both a soldier in the 2nd Michigan Infantry and a spy for the Union Army. The third character of the song was based on the Staffordshire bull terrier, Sallie Anne Jarrett, who served as the mascot for the 11th Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry until she lost her life in 1865 during the battle of Hatcher’s Run. Isabella Marie “Belle” Boyd was born in Martinsburg, West Virginia, and during the Civil War was known as “Cleopatra of the Seccession.” During the Civil War a group of Union soldiers heard that she had hung Confederate flags in her father’s Front Royal hotel, and when they arrived to investigate the accusation they hung a Union flag outside of her home. This made her very mad. When one of the Union soldiers cursed her mother for not having better control of her daughter, Belle shot and killed the soldier. Throughout the Civil War she passed secrets to the Confederate General Stonewall Jackson using her beauty to lure secrets from Union officers who stayed at her father’s hotel. She was arrested three times for her activities as a spy, but each time was set free after promising that she would no lon- ger serve as a spy for the Confederate Army. Sarah Emma Edmonds enlisted in the 2nd Michigan Infantry under the name of Franklin Flint Thomp- son. She served for the Union Army disguised as a male field nurse, and fought in the first and second Battles of Bull Run, and the battles at Antietam and Vicksburg. Her friend, Frank Thompson, who served as a spy for the Union Army was captured and executed by the Confederate Army for his activi- ties. To avenge his death she requested to take his place as a spy after revealing to her military superiors that she was a woman disguised as a man. She became a master of disguise and snuck behind Con- federate lines many times by disguising herself as a black man who went by the name of Cuff, an Irish peddler name Bridget O’Shea who sold apples and soap to Confederate soldiers, and a black laundress who cleaned Confederate Officers’ clothes. Sallie Anne Jarrett was adopted when she was only four weeks old by the 11th Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry. She served as the regiment’s mascot throughout most of the war, and followed the men close- ly during marches to the battlefield. During a spring 1863 military review for President Lincoln, Sallie marched with the soldiers of the 11th Pennsylvania Infantry. During the Battle of Gettysburg Sallie became separated from her regiment, but after the battle had ended the soldiers found her guarding the dead from her unit. It was said that she could easily distinguish between Confederate and Union soldiers, and would always bark the alarm if Confederate forces were nearby. During the Battle of Chancellorsville (April 30 – May 6, 1863) the 11th Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry fought as part of the Joseph Hooker’s Army of the Potomac against Robert E. Lee’s Army of North- ern Virginia. Hooker’s exceptional military intelligence about the positioning and capabilities of Lee’s Confederate army was the result of detailed information acquired by several spies who worked for the Union Army. However, his ineffective leadership and loss of confidence eventually cost him the Battle of Chancellorsville. Lee’s military forces, despite being outnumbered by a ratio of two to one, won the greatest victory of the Civil War for the Confederate Army. However, Lee lost over 22 percent of his Confederate Army. In addition his right-hand general, Stonewall Jackson, was accidently shot by his own men on May 2, 1863 and died eight days later..

  • Military Intelligence Essay
    Essential Civil War Curriculum | William B. Feis, Military Intelligence| March 2020 Military Intelligence By William B. Feis, Buena Vista University efore publishing his groundbreaking monograph, The Secret War for the Union, Edwin C. Fishel bemoaned the lack of scholarly interest in Civil War military intelligence operations. “Intelligence historians don’t give damn about the Civil B 1 War,” he complained, “and Civil War historians don’t give a damn about intelligence.” Nevertheless, he also knew scholars had good reason not to take it seriously. Until his book appeared in 1996, the “true” history of Civil War military intelligence was mostly a collection of uncorroborated cloak and dagger tall tales featuring daring spies and dangerous missions packaged in flowery Victorian prose. In these spy thrillers, however, the truth rarely survived first contact with the enemy. As a result, the dubious nature of what passed for intelligence history seemed unworthy of serious consideration by both intelligence and Civil War historians. Fishel’s work, however, showed that giving a damn could reap significant rewards.2 To understand the true nature of Civil War military intelligence requires an examination of its most challenging characteristics, keeping in mind nineteenth-century military theorist Antoine-Henri Jomini’s warning that though “it is unquestionably of the highest importance to gain this information,” actually getting it was “a thing of the utmost difficulty, not to say impossibility.”3 First, military intelligence operations (called

" 1 Rose Greenhaw thus explains her decision t o become a spy for the Confederate states during the Civil War. By contrast, Elizabeth Van Lew j ustified her espionage for the North: "How can I describe my feelings when on my way down town, looking towards the Capitol, I saw the flag of treason floating over it." 2 Both flags made these women realize their loyalties. The depth of their convictions led them to pursue as direct a role in the war as a woman could: spying. At the beginning of the Civil War neither North nor South had a very organized military intelligence system.

PREFACE To Abraham Lincoln, the Civil War was essentially a people's contest over the maintenance of a government dedi- cated to the elevation of man and the right of every citizen to an unfettered start in the race of life. President Lincoln believed that most Americans understood this, for he liked to boast that while large numbers of Army and Navy officers had resigned their commissions to take up arms against the government, not one common soldier or sailor was known to have deserted his post to fight for the Confederacy.
