The Chosen Path: Life of Elizabeth Van Lew Female Spy Gen. Grant Civil War

Description: The Chosen Path: Based on the Life of Elizabeth Van Lew. by Donald Paul Wyman, Ph.D. Inscribed and signed by the author on half-title page. iUniverse, Inc. New York, 2007. Soft Cover. xi, 272 pages. Numerous b&w illustrations. Measures 9" x 6". Knowledgeable experts have ranked Elizabeth Van Lew as one of the best female spies of all time. Until Dr. Wyman's comprehensive 'The Chosen Path', little was known about the full perilous life and valuable contributions of this Richmond, Virginia born socialite who became Grant's Spy during the Civil War. From triumph to tragedy, her life was filled with extraordinary drama. As with most covert operations, her successes were un-heralded. For her overt acts of loyalty to the Union, her rewards were ridicule, threats, unmerciful cruelty, humiliation, and arrest. Why did she do it? How did she do it? The Chosen Path -because of its novel format with dialogue-allows readers to know the true character and motivation-the human side of Miss Van Lew-as well as describing the many intelligence accomplishments of this American Patriot.
