1890 "The Boy Spy"

Item Details

An 1890 hardcover volume of The Boy Spy by Joseph Kerbey, recounting the author’s experiences as a young man acting as a spy for the Union during the Civil War. Embedded deep in the Confederacy, he spent time in the camps of important Southern commanders and made several daring escapes from capture or near-capture. The work provides a fascinating first-hand account of the espionage and subterfuge of the Civil War, aspects less well-known but just as important as the battles and maneuvers of armies. Illustrated with etchings.
