“What a jolly thing military surveillance is!” – Belle Boyd

“I am a woman who enjoys herself very much; sometimes I lose, sometimes I win.” – Mata Hari

Americans have long been fascinated by the Civil War, marveling at the size of the battles, the leadership of the generals, and the courage of the soldiers. Since the war's start over 150 years ago, the events have been subjected to endless debate among historians and the generals themselves. The Civil War was the deadliest conflict in American history, and had the two sides realized it would take 4 years and inflict over a million casualties, it might not have been fought. Since it did, however, historians and history buffs alike have been studying and analyzing the people and places that shaped the course of the conflict ever since.

Much about the war remains controversial over 150 years later, and that includes the extent and nature of the spying that took place on both sides.
