![]() ![]() ![]() The book is short and those who expect alot of detail maybe let down. I had never heard of Emma but am sure glad I read about her. Nobody ever found out her secret and her reputation as a Spy grew. She started as a Nurse but in time, she would become a super spy, utilizing various disguises to penetrate the Confederate armies. And nobody found out her secret during the entire time she was with them. At the time, they were desperate for troops. She wanted to change the world.Įmma joined the forces by posing as a boy. And she did not want to stay on the edges doing something like sending Postcards. She wanted to help the Northerners in battle but how could she? Women, after all, were not allowed to fight. This book is at once educational, inspiring and just fascinating.Įmma Edmonds was a smart and I'd say fearless, woman who was just a girl during the Civil War. ― Seymour Reit, Behind Rebel Lines: The Incredible Story of Emma Edmonds, Civil War Spy “But how could you know the limits of your courage if you never put it to the test?” ![]()
