Miss Belle Boyd

When it comes to the "War of Northern Aggression" or "Lincoln's War," there were those standout women from both the North, as well as from the South. Maria Isabella "Belle" Boyd was one of those women for the South or as we know it -- the Confederate States of America. Miss Belle served the Confederacy as a Confederate spy and went to great extremes to deliver information to General Stonewall Jackson. Interestingly, she began spying as a teenager at seventeen. Belle Boyd would report what she saw and heard from the Union soldiers who were stationed outside of her house. And then, she went to such extremes, as to walk and then run out onto battlefield in order to supply the Confederate Army with the information.
