the outbreak of the Civil war she shot
and killed Federal soldier who as
sailed her mother. She gave Stonewali
Jackson information that enabled him
to drive Gen Banks and his army out
of the Shenandoah Valley. She was
captured and confined in the military
prison at Washington for three months
and was then exchanged for Union
colonel. She went South and wss COM
missioned as captain in the Confeder-
ate service. She was again captured,
taken to Washington and sentenced
to be shot, but she was reprieved and
again exchanged, this time for gen.
eral. She afterwards sailed forEngland
with important dispatches from the
Confederate government, but was a
third time captured and second time
