First Book
Long before the wars open
ing shot at Charleston, the
abolitionists had famed ma
tional sentiment to fever
heat and stirred the women
Of the North and South to
unprecedented interest in sec
tional and national politics.
In the North, they flocked to
town meeting houses to hear
the speeches of indignation
which followed John Browns
hanging.

in working her way into the
United States Secret Service
as a counter spy. Some his
torians, however, have skep-
tically consigned to legend
much Of this lady's exploits.
Probably the most roman
tic episodes Of the war were
those of the women spies.
REALISTICALLY clever, they
risked danger daily to send
information through the
lines and turned the tide of
battle in many cases. One
Of the South's most famous
spies was Mrs. Rose O'Neal
Greenhow who used her posi-
ton as one of WaShington's
leading hostesses to camou-
flage her activities. Even
when she was caught and i'm
prisoned she continued her
work using methods that en-
ragged and frustrated her cap
tors.
Clever Spies
But it is beauteous Belle
Boyd who has most excited
the imaginations of her fellow
Southerners. She delivered
some Of her spy messages
right under enemy fire.
The Northern women spies
we're no less clever if as spec
tacular as their Southern
counterparts. Pauline Cush-
man, an actress, played her
role to the hilt and just
barely escaped the hangman.
Elizabeth Van Lew. a Rich
mond Spinster, was a real
mastermind who never got
caught because who would
suspect an added eccentric?
The Northern women pos
sibly could claim a military
strategist in their midst. She
was Anna Ella Carroll. a
pamphleteer and orator with
a brilliant mind who was
never able to prove her claim
that she was the author of
military plans for Grants

campaign. Another question

stration Of Tv techniques for
side-stepping controversy. And
its treatment Of the Civil War
in the first program Monday
night illustrated why the bloody
four-year conflict has been
largely ignored as a backdrop
by TV series-makers, in spite
Of its great dramatic poten-
tials.
Even though the Civil War
took place 100 years ago, it
left scar tissue which is still
sensitive, particularly in the
South. No commercial tele-
vision network, including NBC,
wants to risk offending a huge

real genius, however, was In
blandly overlooking all but the
secession issue in the struggle.
Brother Jeff Garfield ex-
planned that he Joined up with
the Virginia Militia because he
was a Virginian. Brother Ben
went off to the boys in blue
because. as he stated several
times. he just didn't want to
see the Union split. Not once
was the word slavery used. And
not once during the 60 minutes
did a Negro appear on the
screen.
This care to avoid offending
reached even into the plot. The
boys lost their father in the
opening episode. He was NOR
tally injured when the fort at
Harpers Ferry was blown up.
But even though the explosion
was the result Of Brother Ben's
patriotic activities. the North
did not have to take the rap:
Pa Garfield died attempting to
rescue q son he thought was
trapped in the burning fort.
It's easy to sneer at this
pussy-footed attitude. particu-
larly when it is taken at the
expense Of history. but 1t is
rooted In the vitals Of network
TV. It would be hard, II not
