This is a bibliography about Rose O‘Neale Greenhow, a confederate spy. The author provides multiple pieces of evidence of documentation of original sources like diaries and letters. I liked how the author's style was readable and the background information blended naturally with the narrative.

I would not use this book in my future classroom, because the topic would not be interesting to children when presented this way. I could maybe use this book for quotes or quick context about her and then plan lessons off it.
